Family Doctor
A family doctor, also known as a general practitioner (GP) or primary care physician, is a doctor who provides comprehensive medical care to individuals and families of all ages.
Having a family doctor is important for managing your overall health and receiving preventive care. Your family doctor can provide routine check-ups, diagnose and treat illnesses, and refer you to specialists if needed.
