General Physician: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of a General Physician (GP)?
A General Physician, or GP, is a medical doctor who provides comprehensive primary healthcare to patients of all ages. They diagnose and treat a wide range of common illnesses, manage chronic conditions, provide preventive care and health education, and coordinate referrals to specialists when needed.
How often should I see a General Physician for a check-up?
It's generally recommended for adults to have an annual health check-up with their GP, even if they feel healthy. This helps in early detection of potential issues and promotes preventive care. However, the frequency may vary based on your age, health status, and risk factors. Dr. Aqeel Farrukh Durrani can advise on a suitable schedule for you.
What kind of conditions can a General Physician treat?
GPs treat a broad spectrum of conditions, including acute illnesses like colds, flu, infections, and minor injuries, as well as managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and thyroid disorders. They also provide preventive care, vaccinations, and health counseling.
When should I see a GP versus going to an emergency room?
You should see your GP for non-life-threatening conditions, routine check-ups, management of chronic illnesses, and common acute illnesses. The emergency room is for severe or life-threatening conditions such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, major trauma, or loss of consciousness. If unsure, you can call MedCity Medical Center for guidance.
Can a General Physician help with mental health concerns?
Yes, GPs are often the first point of contact for mental health concerns. They can provide initial assessment, counseling for common issues like stress or mild anxiety/depression, and can refer you to a mental health specialist (psychiatrist or psychologist) if more specialized care is needed.
What is involved in a routine health check-up?
A routine health check-up typically includes a review of your medical history, lifestyle assessment, physical examination (checking vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate), and may involve basic screening tests based on your age, gender, and risk factors (e.g., blood tests for cholesterol, blood sugar).
Do I need to make an appointment to see a General Physician at MedCity?
Yes, it is recommended to book an appointment to ensure timely consultation with Dr. Aqeel Farrukh Durrani. This helps us manage patient flow and minimize waiting times. However, we do try to accommodate urgent cases where possible. Please call us at +971 7 236 4555 to schedule.
