Hello Again! Regarding Family Practice Physicians, I feel, for the most part the same way. They are more wellness oriented it seems, in general. Of course, I am biased, my husband is a Family Practice Physician. They also have their own organization, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), they are based in Kansas City, MO. I have always personally liked the notion that one doctor can take care of the vast majority (90+%) of any family's needs including attending births, managing chronic diseases, healthcare for infants through the elderly, minor surgery, etc. etc. Laura M.
