Primary Care Doctors Accepting New Patients Serving Portsmouth, Newington NH

Primary care doctors, also known as general practice or primary care doctors, specialize in providing essential medical care to people of all ages and walks of life. Sometimes, a family or general practice doctor may have another subspecialty, such as pediatrics (caring for children) or geriatrics (caring for older adults), where they provide general ongoing care to specific populations. Most family doctors work in their own practice, a clinic setting, or in an outpatient clinic, while some may also consult and work with patients in hospitals.

Primary care doctors are a crucial part of the overall healthcare system. Often, when you are feeling unwell or have a medical issue that is not life-threatening, a visit to your family doctor is the first step. Primary doctors can assess and diagnose your issue and begin treatment, and if you need more complex care, they can refer you to the right specialist. They also provide annual physicals or other diagnostic tests meant to monitor your health over time and look for the presence of various serious or chronic illnesses. Overall, family doctors specialize in monitoring and helping manage your health throughout your lifetime.

In general, yes, most primary care doctors can take care of the entire family. While some specific populations may require more complex care from a specialist, such as a geriatrician or a pediatrician, your family doctor can always help refer you to that specialist, or at least help you through the process of accessing that information.
