Family & Internal Medicine
- Family Medicine practitioners are Board Certified* doctors who have specialized in general practice for ages 0-99 years old. This is what most British People would call a GP.
- Internal Medicine practitioners are also Board Certified* specialists but they only treat adults
At Kanad Hospital, most insurance plans allow you to make an appointment directly with a doctor from Family or Internal Medicine. During a medical service, you can choose between a male or female doctor, whoever makes you feel more at ease. You can also request the doctor you are most comfortable with.
When should you visit a family medicine doctor?
Your family doctor is considered your primary care physician. This means you need to see your doctor whenever you or someone in your family:
- is having a fever;
- needs medication for chronic conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and hypertension;
- requires undergoing a prenatal check-up;
- has been in a minor injury;
- is having mental health issues,
- is due for an annual health check-up; or
- needs a laboratory test and physical examination.
We recommend visiting your doctor at least once a year for a complete check-up to ensure you and your children are in excellent health.
