A General Physician, also known as a General Practitioner (GP) or Family Medicine Doctor, is a medical doctor who provides primary care services, offers preventive care, and treats a wide range of common illnesses and health concerns for individuals of all ages.

You should see a General Physician for routine check-ups, vaccinations, common illnesses (colds, flu), minor injuries, chronic disease management, and overall health concerns. They serve as the first point of contact for various medical issues.

General Physicians treat a variety of conditions, including respiratory infections, digestive issues, cardiovascular concerns, diabetes, hypertension, allergies, and provide basic mental health support. They also coordinate referrals to specialists if needed.

The frequency of check-ups depends on individual health, age, and any existing medical conditions. Generally, adults are advised to have a routine check-up at least once a year, but your General Physician will provide personalized recommendations.

In many cases, you can schedule an appointment directly with a General Physician without a referral. However, some insurance plans may have specific requirements, so it's advisable to check with your insurance provider.

General Physicians primarily focus on non-surgical interventions and preventive care. They may perform minor procedures in their office, such as wound suturing, but for major surgeries, they typically refer patients to specialists.
