Unlike other specialties that are solely focused on one specific organ or body system, physicians in Family Medicine are dedicated to treating the whole person. Family physicians provide personal integrated care for patients. Because of their extensive training, family physicians treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for all ages and genders. In addition to diagnosing, treating and managing chronic illnesses, physicians in family practice provide preventative care including routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests. Family physicians also act as an advocate for patients in a complex health care system, coordinating care provided by other specialists when needed.
