Everyone Needs a Family Physician
The benefits of family physicians are:
An Array of Services. Patients go to family physicians for treatment of
acute illnesses, chronic illnesses, mental health issues, family issues and
preventative health services.
The opportunity to identify mental health problems. Adult patients
coming for medical care reported recent emotional distress. During visits
by these patients, family physicians diagnosed depression or anxiety
providing counseling during the majority of these visits.
Family focus. Patients have family members who see the same
physician. During the visits, the doctor provided medical care not only for
the patient but for the family members as well.
Developed relationships. Patients had been with their family physician
for more than five years on average and saw the physician an average of
four times during the previous year
The opportunity to provide needed preventive services. During one-
third of illness visits, patients received at least one preventive service,
including health habit advice or a screening test, such as a Pap smear.

R. Greg Maul, D.O., FACOFP Patients receive a high level of education. Patients receive health
education or advice about health habits from their family physicians
Hugh levels of interpersonal communication, accumulated knowledge of the patient, coordination of care
and continuity of care. Delivery of these attributes is associated with patient satisfaction and with delivery of
different classes of preventive services
Tailored advice about health habits. Family physicians provided health habit advice to those patients who
were at the highest risk and they provided advice when it was likely to have the most impact
Physicians seeing a high and low volume of patients spend their time with patients in similar ways. However,
high volume practice are associated with slightly lower levels of patient satisfaction, preventive service delivery
and measures of the quality of the doctor-patient relationship
