Your family practice doctor is often your primary care physician. When you choose a doctor from family practice, you get a generalist who makes it a priority to keep you and your family healthy through childhood diseases, minor accidents, and adult aging issues. Your physician is the first line of defense against illnesses and ailments for all members of your family, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle. The family practice has a significant advantage over other medical specialties: their relationship with you and your family. By building that relationship over the years, your doctor can know your medical history, which helps him make faster diagnoses and more targeted treatment plans. This advantage applies to all your family members too. Unlike a gastroenterologist or cardiologist, a family practice doctor has a much broader knowledge base. He may not know as much about your digestive tract or your heart, but he knows enough to recognize a medical issue when it arises. Your doctor can investigate and diagnose physiological problems and behavioral issues.
