Medical Examination at Century Medical & Dental Center Downtown Brooklyn

Your family practice doctor is often your primary care physician. Using a doctor from family practice, you get a generalist who makes it a goal to keep you and your family healthy, through childhood diseases, the little accidents, and the adult struggles with aging. Your family practice physician is your first line of defense against illnesses and ailments for all members of your family, regardless of age, gender or lifestyle.

Note: Brooklyn family physicians at Century Medical and Dental Center located in Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush or Gravesend locations are accepting all major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, HIP, Emblemhealth, GHI, MetroPlus, Fidelis. Our top rated doctors providing a full range of medical procedures and are among the best family physicians in the region.

The family practice has a significant advantage over other medical specialties: their relationship with you and your family. By building that relationship over the years, your doctor can know your medical history, which helps him make faster diagnoses and more targeted treatment plans. This advantage applies to all your family members too.

Unlike a  or , a family practice doctor has a much broader knowledge base. He may not know as much about your digestive tract or your heart, but he knows enough to recognize a medical issue when it arises. Your doctor can investigate and diagnose physiological problems and behavioral issues. His knowledge includes:

• The most up-to-date medical research;
• A firm understanding of all diseases;
• Knowing the functionality and physiology of each organ;
• Knowledge of the medical problems that relate to your family at any age;
• Study in ailments that are particular to men, women, adolescents, and children.

How to Choose a Family Doctor?

You need a doctor you can trust with your family’s health. Choose a doctor who listens and takes the time to answer your questions. When you trust that your family doctor has your family’s best interests in mind, you’re more likely to follow his guidance and advice. Of course, your doctor’s credentials are important. All doctors must:

• Earn a postgraduate doctoral degree, the MD, which is a four-year course of study;
• Prove himself in the field during a two-residency program;
• Get a license to practice in the state of New York;
• Become board certified in family practice.

The Role of a Family Practice

Your choice of a family practice physician sets the tone for your family’s entire health care. Many insurance companies require a primary care physician, through which you can get appointments with specialists. But more than that, your family doctor provides primary or first-stop care. When something’s bothering you or one of your family members, the first call goes to your doctor, not to the hospital.

Your physician provides the majority of the medical care you need. He can treat wounds and prescribe medications. He can recommend lifestyle changes to help you prevent disease. A good primary care physician can save your life and save you money by delivering appropriate care at the right time.
