As a primary healthcare provider in the United States, a general practitioner, also known as a family physician or internal medicine doctor, plays a crucial role in caring for patients of all ages. These healthcare professionals are responsible for delivering comprehensive primary care services, including performing routine physical examinations, diagnosing and treating common medical conditions, managing chronic illnesses, and promoting preventive healthcare measures. In addition to providing direct patient care, general practitioners also collaborate with specialists, coordinate referrals, and offer health education and counseling to help patients make informed decisions about their well-being.
