A family doctor cares for the needs of the entire family. Also, they seem more likely to delve into the root cause of ongoing issues, knowing the entire family and less likely to over prescribe.
My children are nine and twelve with no learning disabilities, major medical issues and are no longer babies. I think at their ages it may be benificial to have a family doctor for the whole family. Have family medical records with one office together. Also I feel the pediatric offices are often overbooked. Furthermore I would prefer when we do go to our doctor we would be seen by he/she each visit opposed to a network of doctors... I want to know our doctor well and develop a family connection with he/she.
A doctor who knows the whole family is important! Problems occur genetically and communicably in family's. Without my family medicine physician knowing the genetic problems in my family, I would not have been diagnosed with my heart problem.
Potential to stay more up to date on medical trends and studies, due to regular education.
