Consultation with a therapist

Who is a general practitioner?

A general practitioner is a specialist who deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of diseases of internal organs in adults. The family general practitioner accompanies the patient for a long time, knows the peculiarities of his body, carries out regular preventive examinations, controls the course of chronic diseases, and helps in their management. This specialist often becomes a trusted person for the entire family.

An important place in the work of a general practitioner is the identification of risk factors for cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and many other diseases.

You can also make an appointment with a doctor for a preventive check-up, passing medical commissions, obtaining medical certificates, or monitoring chronic diseases. In our clinic, you can order and take a ticket to the general practitioner online or by contacting the call center by phone.

What does a general practitioner check?

During the examination, the general practitioner assesses the main health indicators, paying attention to those aspects that have the greatest impact on the state of the body. Each examination is individual and depends on the patient's complaints, but usually includes the following stages:

• Studying complaints and previous diseases, clarifying family history.

• Assessment of general appearance, skin color, turgor, presence of rashes or edema.

• Checking the function of the heart and lungs using auscultation, as well as palpation of the abdominal organs.

• Identification of signs of inflammatory or chronic processes in the lymph nodes and joints.

• Determination of blood pressure and pulse rate.

Such an examination helps not only to establish a current diagnosis but also to timely prevent the development of serious diseases or complications.
