One of the benefits of having a family practice doctor or nurse practitioner is their ability to care for your entire family. They are trained to treat illnesses in infants, children, adults, and senior adults. Regardless of the family member that requires care, a family practice doctor or nurse practitioner can facilitate medical care accordingly. Since they are familiar with your family history, they can deliver high-quality, personalized care to everyone. This kind of care can be an ideal option for busy parents who would like to set multiple appointments for each family member on the same day.
