A general physician consultation is a medical appointment with a doctor who provides primary healthcare services for patients of all ages. General physicians, also known as general practitioners (GPs), diagnose and treat common illnesses, provide preventive healthcare, manage chronic conditions, and guide patients regarding overall health and wellness.
General physicians are often the first point of contact in the healthcare system. They evaluate symptoms, perform physical examinations, prescribe medications, recommend diagnostic tests, and refer patients to specialists when necessary.
