Family Physicians | Family Medicine Doctors in India

A family physician is a doctor who has received at least three years of specialty training (beyond medical school) in the broad disciplines of primary care. These include in-depth coverage of adult and pediatric medicine, preventive care, and obstetrics care.

Family medicine doctors provide care to all patients, irrespective of their age. General practice is similar to urgent care or a general health clinic. General practitioners offer general medical services to patients of all ages but do not typically specialize in a particular area.

General and preventive care, care of chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, COPD, and depression, care of urgent or emergency conditions like cough/cold/flu/sore throat, ear infections, minor injuries, postpartum depression, skin problems, sports injuries, sprains/bumps/bruises, urinary tract infections, and allergies.

The goal of a family physician is to provide the best care possible for their patients by preventing complications and keeping them as active and as healthy as possible. If there is a need for specialized medical treatment, your family physician can refer you to an appropriate specialist.

A consultation with a family physician would cost around Rs. 600–1000 in India and USD 150–500 abroad.
