Choosing a family doctor
Establishing a good relationship with your family doctor is one of the most important things you can do to keep your family healthy. The first step is to decide what you need and want in a doctor.
In making your selection, you will consider many factors. There are practical matters, such as office hours, waiting times and billing. More importantly, both you and your family need to feel at ease with the person you choose.
Some women choose an obstetrician to provide them with prenatal care, a pediatrician to care for their children and an internist for themselves or their spouse. Others select a family physician, whose extensive training includes all of these areas, for everyone.
Family physicians specialize in caring for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of their patients of all ages. They offer comprehensive, personalized care for the entire family.
There are many advantages to having a family doctor. They know your family's health history. They're available to listen to your concerns and answer your questions. And they can help you make the right choices – to keep you and your family healthy.
