A Family Physician treats adults and children for general medical conditions. Family Physicians are trained in dealing with family issues and relationships, and may provide general gynecology services. An Internist treats adults 18 and above and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. You may select either a Family Practice or Internal Medicine physician as your primary care physician (PCP).
