Why Have a Family Medical Care Provider?

Family medicine physicians develop an intimate knowledge and understanding of patients over a prolonged period of providing health care services. Family physicians get to know patients on a psychological, biological, and emotional level to provide treatment and referrals for specialized services in a variety of specialties such as:

Obstetrics and gynecological
Orthopaedics and physical therapy
Psychology and psychiatry

Even when providing referrals, family physicians remain the primary coordinator of the patient's health care. Their continued oversight is integral in the prevention of fragmented care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Your family physician acts as your health care advocate and representative in corresponding with other medical professionals.
