What conditions does a general physician treat?

What tests can a general physician perform?
The general physicians at Arundel Medical Group may take tests to get more information about your health. Depending on your needs, these in-house tests may include:

They may also analyze the results from tests they order, such as:
- X-rays
- Ultrasounds

Depending on what these tests reveal, your general physician may refer you to a specialist, such as a cardiologist, endocrinologist, or orthopedic surgeon.
What should I expect from a visit to my general physician?
Your Arundel Medical Group physician begins by asking about your symptoms and reviewing your medical history. They perform a physical exam, which includes checking your heart, lungs, thyroid, hydration status, and nervous system.

Then, your physician recommends the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs. This varies based on your condition, but may include:
