Guybarb Health & Wellness Medical Services

Family medicine is a comprehensive medical specialty focused on the total health care of individuals and families. It encompasses a broad range of knowledge by integrating biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences. Unlike other specialties, family medicine covers patients of all ages and addresses health concerns across all organ systems, without being limited by specific disease types or demographic factors.

In terms of certification, the American Board of Family Medicine certifies Medical Doctors (MDs), while Doctors of Osteopathy (DOs) can be certified by either the American Board of Family Medicine or the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. The latter emphasizes Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), a distinctive approach that combines hands-on care with the same foundational medical sciences, offering a holistic treatment method.
