Choosing a physician who you trust with your medical care may be challenging, but using a family practice is an excellent solution that checks all of the boxes when you’re making a decision.

The caring professionals at Nathan Littauer Hospital & Nursing Home in Gloversville, NY, share some of the benefits of choosing a family practice, including:

• Well-Rounded Attention: Since family medicine doctors are not specialized in just one area, they can attend to all aspects of your health and treat many conditions. Their broad knowledge allows them to look at the big picture of patient health and provide personalized health care. They are also well suited to care for the whole family, from children to adults, so you can streamline your doctor interactions in one office. 
• Long-Term Patient Relationships: Family medicine practitioners typically establish a long-term relationship with their patients, so they are very familiar with their medical history and can monitor health changes over time. These doctors know you, your family, and your history, developing an established lasting relationship and building trust over time.
• Coordinating Patient Information: The physicians in a family practice can collaborate on patient care to best serve their needs. They also will make referrals to specialists, if necessary, and since they know you well, they will find the best specialist for your preferences.

Using a family medicine practitioner is a beneficial choice for many seeking medical care. The combination of a strong patient relationship and a full range of care makes it a wise choice.
