Amongst primary care physicians, family medicine physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people through all stages of life. Unlike internal medicine physicians, who typically treat adults 18 years of age and older, Gwinnett Clinic family medicine physicians provide primary care for adults and adolescents.
Family medicine physicians are highly educated and experienced in providing physical exams and wellness exams, routine checkups, diagnosis, treatment for common illnesses, sick care, immunization and screening tests, treatment for chronic illnesses, health risk assessments, treatment options and plans, personalized recommendations on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and disease management - with a focus on prevention and wellness. They also help coordinate your care with specialists as needed and help you to navigate our complex health care system.
