A family physician is a medical provider that cares for patients of any age, including individuals or families. Like a pediatrician, a family physician is trained to provide health care services to newborns, children, adolescents and young adults, but they also have additional training in care for adults, including women’s health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
