Family Medicine Q & A
How is Family Medicine Different From Other Specialties?
Doctors who practice specialties that focus on specific organs or diseases are experts in those particular areas. On the other hand, family medicine physicians provide comprehensive healthcare to patients of all ages and genders and treat a variety of diseases and conditions.
Family medicine doctors, like the team at Weibo Medical Care, participate in multi-discipline training for a more integrated approach to both inpatient and outpatient health concerns. Throughout their education and residencies, family medicine specialists receive training in six major areas:
- Pediatrics
- Obstetrics and gynecology
- Internal medicine
- Psychiatry and neurology
- Surgery
- Community medicine
In addition to these areas of study, family physicians also incorporate emergency medicine, radiology, orthopedics, urology, and ophthalmology into their medical practice. This way, they can deliver a wide range of services all at one location. You can visit a family medicine practice to learn how to prevent an illness or to receive treatment for all types of acute or chronic conditions.
What Services Do Family Medicine Physicians Provide?
Dr. Zheng and the other family physicians are experts at diagnosing and treating a variety of conditions and providing preventive services that include:
- All aspects of pediatrics, including immunization
- Routine physical exams
- Vaccinations
- Dermatology
- Gynecology
- Urology

- General surgery
- Routine diagnostic testing

Since family medicine doctors provide primary care throughout the course of your lifespan, you can visit them for conditions and treatments from birth until the end of life. If you need a medical specialist such as an internist or surgeon because your condition requires it, Dr. Zheng and the other doctors at Weibo Medical Care can refer you.
It’s helpful to have a family doctor who thoroughly understands your physical and emotional well-being so they are aware of your needs, concerns, and preferences when making a referral.
