What is the difference between a general physician and a specialist?
A general physician (general medicine doctor) manages a broad range of conditions and serves as the primary point of care. Specialists like cardiologists or neurologists focus on specific organ systems. Your general physician will refer you to the appropriate specialist when needed.
