Family doctor, family dentist

Primary care doctor

A family doctor is a doctor with whom you can consult comprehensively about health management and other health-related matters, mainly at local clinics and clinics, based on a relationship of mutual trust. A family doctor knows your general physical condition well, so you can detect illness early and treat it early. If you need hospitalization or detailed examination, we will introduce you to the appropriate hospital. Also, even if you cannot go to the hospital, you can receive home visits or be referred to other medical institutions so that you can continue your treatment at home.

*For medication consultation, consult a pharmacist at an insurance pharmacy.

You can consult about problems and questions about medicine, such as "It's hard to take medicine", "I'm worried about the side effects of medicine", "Is it okay to take a lot at once", and "I often forget to take medicine". Some pharmacies can be visited at home (visit drug management guidance). Use your medicine handbook and consult with your local pharmacist.
