All Family Practice in Defiance

Family practice is a medical specialty that focuses on providing comprehensive primary healthcare services to individuals and families. Family practitioners, also known as family physicians or general practitioners, are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of acute and chronic medical conditions. They provide preventive care services such as immunizations and health screenings, as well as ongoing management of chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Family practice also emphasizes patient education and disease prevention, and family practitioners may work with patients to help them make lifestyle changes to improve their overall health and well-being. In addition to medical care, family practitioners often provide referrals to specialists and coordinate care across multiple healthcare providers.
