General Medicine

By definition, a general physician means a doctor who has specialized in General Medicien and provides non-surgical care to patients. You can seek care from such professionals for almost any medical issue, common or unusual, and the doctor will be with you through the process until recovery.

A general physician assesses conditions, diagnoses them, and offers preventive care solutions to patients. There are two types of general physicians, namely, specialist physicians and general practice physicians.

Specialized physicians are those who primarily focus on specific diseases, disorders, or areas of the body. General practice physicians offer generalized care and refer patients to specialists if required.
