Family Doctor | Republikas laukuma klīnika

A family doctor is a primary healthcare specialist who provides both preventive and therapeutic services. During a consultation, the family doctor evaluates the patient’s health and current complaints. Primary diagnostics are performed, and treatment is prescribed if necessary. The family doctor also analyzes laboratory tests, X-ray, and CT scan results to clarify the diagnosis and determine the subsequent treatment plan.

At “Republikas laukuma klīnikā”, family doctors provide a wide range of healthcare services, caring for both acute and chronic conditions as well as preventive care. We work to ensure that you receive professional, prompt, and easily accessible medical assistance.

Family Doctor Services:

• Pre-consultation patient survey: The purpose of the visit is indicated, such as acute illness, chronic disease management, issuance or extension of sick leave, preparation of work certificates, medical assessment for drivers (CSDD), prescription of medications, and other individual concerns.
• Evaluation of complaints from various organ systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, hormonal, musculoskeletal, nervous, and mental health systems.
• Review of previous tests and examinations: including blood and urine tests, X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound (USG), MRI, electrocardiograms (ECG), echocardiograms (ECHO), and other diagnostics.
