You can choose either one for your healthcare, as both can provide primary care! A family physician is just a primary care physician who can treat patients of any age, including children and seniors. A family physician can look for, predict, and treat health issues shared between your family members. If you have a family who also needs care, you might want to consider a family physician. You might consider a pediatrician instead if it's your child who needs care, as a pediatrician is a primary care physician for kids. Or if it's an older member of your family who needs care, you should choose an internist, a primary care physician for older adults and seniors. Or you could just see a general primary care physician for adults!
