"A primary
care physician plays
an important part in helping you stay
healthy. They're also sometimes called
primary care providers, or PCPs. They're
often the first contact you or your family
members have with the health care system.
They offer care for preventing, treating,
and curing common illnesses as well as
promoting better
health."

"Family
practice doctors provide care to people of
all ages. These generalists treat chronic conditions,
evaluate symptoms, offer preventative
care,
and let people know when they need to see a
specialist. " Source
