Frequently asked Questions regarding Family Medicine
What is a family medicine doctor?
A family medicine doctor is a primary care physician trained to treat patients of all ages — from infants to seniors. They provide comprehensive care including preventive health, acute illness treatment, chronic disease management, and health education. Family medicine physicians are often the first doctor a patient sees for any new health concern.
What is the difference between a family medicine doctor and a general practitioner?
Family medicine is a recognized medical specialty with its own board certification (American Board of Family Medicine), while "general practitioner" is a broader, older term. Family medicine physicians complete a dedicated three-year residency after medical school specifically focused on whole-family, multi-generational care. Dr. Taylor is board-certified in Family Medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine.
Can a family medicine doctor treat children and adults in the same practice?
Yes — that is one of the defining advantages of family medicine. Our Garland family medicine practice treats patients from newborns through seniors, so your entire family can receive care from the same trusted team without needing separate pediatric or internal medicine practices.
Are you accepting new family medicine patients in Garland, TX?
