General Physicians in India
A general physician treats common adult illness and long-term conditions, including fever and infections, high blood pressure, diabetes and thyroid problems, and refers on to a specialist when one is needed.
Seeing a general physician
A starting point when symptoms are unclear, or several health concerns need to be considered together.
What this professional does
A general physician assesses general medical concerns and can help decide whether you need more specialised care. In India, this directory label may cover doctors with different training; read the qualifications on each profile rather than assuming that the label means a particular postgraduate degree.[1]
Concerns within their scope
You can start by describing what is troubling you, even if you do not know which body system is involved. The consultation can also bring together questions about ongoing conditions, medicines and previous test results.[1]
When a routine consultation may help
A planned visit can help with a continuing concern, a follow-up that your doctor has requested, or questions about your existing care. Tell the clinic what has changed so it can advise how soon you should be seen.[1]
What to expect at a visit
Expect questions about your symptoms, medical history and current medicines. The next step may be advice, an examination, tests or a referral. An initial assessment does not always produce a diagnosis in one visit.[1]
Prepare for your consultation
Write a short timeline of your symptoms and your two most important questions. Bring prescriptions and relevant reports. Ask who will explain any results, when you should follow up and whom to contact if things worsen.[2]
Questions you may have
Do I need to choose a specialist before seeking help?
No. A general medical consultation can help you explain the concern and identify the next step. Check that the clinic sees your age group and type of concern.[1]
Should I bring medicines from other doctors?
Bring a complete list, including supplements, so the clinician can consider your care together. Do not leave out non-prescription products.[2]
