University Physicians Offers Family Practice Services to Missouri Communities
Family practice physicians specialize in meeting the primary health-care needs of families. Instead of specializing in only one medical area, family physicians are trained in all major medical areas—from pediatrics to internal medicine to gynecology, including prenatal and baby care. Of course, no doctor can specialize in everything, and family physicians generally refer patients to specialists in 10 percent to 15 percent of cases.
