Family Practice
|
|
When it comes time to choose a physician for yourself and your family, there
are several key factors to consider before making the important decision. When discussing such a
personal and sensitive subject as your or your family’s health, you want to be able to say with
confidence that your care is in the best hands possible. When considering different doctors in
Anchorage, Primary Care Associates can meet all of your family’s needs. |
|
What is a family practitioner? |
|
It takes a special kind of physician to choose family medicine as a career
focus, since this particular discipline often involves forging lasting relationships with
patients. These continuing relationships are based upon trust and understanding, and without
excellent communication from your doctor, you may be left with more questions than answers. Our
physicians at Primary Care Associates understand that building this type of relationship is a top
priority in being your family doctor. |
|
How do I find a family practitioner? |
|
Some medical practices offer both primary care and urgent care services.
Using an urgent care center for your next non-emergency medical need is one way to find a family
practice physician. These doctors are highly skilled in administering everything from routine
check-ups, to required vaccinations, to preventative tests and complicated diagnoses. |
|
Once you’ve selected your primary care physician, he or she will become very
familiar with your personal medical history, as well as those of your family members. This type of
relationship is invaluable when it comes to your children; parents feel the most at ease when they
can fully trust their family physician and his or her medical opinions. |
