People are Rediscovering the Family Doctor for Good Reasons: By knowing the diseases that run in a particular family, as well as the concerns or problems facing that family at any given time, the physician gains important insight into each family member's history and lifestyle. He sees all the factors that may influence a person's health. Family medicine doctors also emphasize prevention. Because they get to know their patients and their patients' families so well, they often recognize potential health concerns. By addressing those issues before a problem arises, they help patients stay healthy and keep the long-term cost of care down.
