Family physicians or ‘family doctor’s’ are doctors who look after your entire family. Family Doctors can create a caring relationship with your family and they really get to know their patients. They listen and they help them make the right health care decisions.

Family Doctors are trusted and trained in all areas of medicine. They have the ability to diagnose and treat the full range of problems people bring to them each and every day.

Family Physicians always know the latest and greatest treatments and technologies. In fact, only family physicians train for 3 years in real practice settings, treating patients in the office, their home, and at the hospital. Family Physicians are required to re-certify more than any other medical specialty.

When looking for a family doctor, talk with your friends and family. Once you have the names of a few doctors, why not call their offices to get more information. Some vital questions that you should ask are: what are your office hours, how many doctors are in the practice, do you accept insurance and what hospital does your doctor use.

Once you have found a doctor that suits you and your family best, why not schedule an appointment so that you can meet and talk with your doctor. When you visit your family doctor the first time you should make sure that you’re comfortable talking with your doctor (you want to make sure you can come to him/her about anything that’s troubling you), the doctor answers all your questions, the doctor explains things so that you fully understand and that you’ve had enough time to ask all your questions. If at any time you have any questions or concerns feel free to ask your doctor because your health and your family’s health rely on this.
