About Family and Internal Medicine Specialists
A family or internal medicine physician is your main doctor and the one who coordinates health care for you and your family. Family and internal medicine physicians are very similar because they are the type of doctor to call if you or a family member needs care for a common illness or injury, or if you need a referral for specialized care. The family doctor specializes in treating children and older adults, as well as adults in general.
Family and internal medicine specialists treat patients in a holistic way. They build a long relationship with you and your family and track your overall health over many years. They get to know you in order to take good care of you. Your family doctor or internist understands your medical history, your needs, and the best way to help you when you have a short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) illness.

What to expect when you see a family medicine or internal medicine doctor:
Your family medicine or internal medicine doctor is the “gatekeeper” of your medical care. (Some insurance companies require a family medicine or internal medicine doctor to oversee your care.) This type of doctor handles many of your and your family’s medical and health needs. Your family/internal medicine doctor treats illnesses and injuries, and also helps you stay healthy and prevent illness. When your medical care requires a specialist, your family/internal medicine doctor will help diagnose your illness and then refer you to the type of specialist who can take care of your particular problem. Here are a few examples:
- Cardiologist for heart problems
- Gastroenterologist for stomach and intestinal problems
- Gynecologist for women’s health
- Nutritionist for advice regarding food and diet
- Pain management
