General Practice physicians are like family practice physicians and can treat patients of any gender or age. This category is one area where you might also find osteopaths, which are physicians that practice a type of alternative medicine with special focus on the musculoskeletal system, and are distinguished by the “D.O.” after their name instead of “M.D.”

In Saudi, if you go to a public hospital. it's compulsory to visit a primary care doctor before going to a specialist. I believe sometimes it wastes time, and it's better if it's optional or when it's needed
