- Well-kept and Reliable Records: Going from doctor to doctor is a risky business as it results in individuals not being able to get the care they need when they need it. The best part about working with the family practitioners at DoctorMeNow is that we keep a running and thorough track of your medical records. If we ever have to refer you to a specialist or send you for tests, such as blood work, you can rest assured that our team will get a copy of these results and keep them for you.

These specialists can help you get the extra attention you need, ensuring that your family gets proper care, treatment, and is put back on the road to great health.
- Personalized Care: Seeing the same doctor regularly helps ensure that you and your family build a strong relationship with your care provider, giving you the care that you need. They can see and notice patterns in your health or notice signs that you may be getting sick faster, as they will know your body’s response to illnesses. Compared to an individual that jumps from doctor to doctor for each treatment, a family practitioner can help you prevent illnesses instead of just treating them.

What Does a General Practitioner Doctor Do?
General practitioners perform a major role for both patients and the community. They are often part of a wide team of doctors that help promote wellness, prevent the spread of diseases and viruses, and initiate treatments for ailments or illnesses.
These doctors often serve as the first contact for individuals unsure of what is causing their ailment. This means that the patients a general practitioner sees are sometimes anxious, which is why general practitioners take the extra step in offering both physical and emotional support.
What Can I Expect From a General Practitioner Telemedicine Appointment?
General Practitioner appointments usually start with the doctor assessing their patient. They talk over symptoms, how long the condition has been going on, and any previous medical history. This is done so the doctor can quickly decide on a plan of action to treat the patient’s ailments. Whether this means prescribing a medication, sending the patient to a specialist, or for severe cases, the hospital, the doctor can quickly determine which course of action is best for the patient based on the information provided.
In some cases, a general practitioner may recommend that further testing be done, if the cause of the patient’s illness or pain cannot be readily determined. In these cases, the general practitioners at DoctorMeNow will send you to a lab to have the tests done. These tests can include x-rays, blood tests, and urine samples. Once the tests come back, the general practitioner will follow up with the patient on a course of action to treat the illness.
General practitioners may also help with preventative medicine, such as giving vaccines or giving advice on lifestyle changes to help prevent common ailments, such as diabetes.
