Medical Offices May be privately owned and operated by one or more physicians or by a for-
profit private company employing its own physicians. They may also be
established by state or local government.
Medical Practices A Medical doctor is a physician with years of training in the diagnosis, treatment
and prevention of disease. After four years of college or university education, four
years of medical school and at least three years of specialty training under
supervision, called residency, a physician is ready to begin his or her career.
Solo-Physician Practice Arrangements must be made with another physician to treat patients when the
primary care physician is unavailable. The practice is limited in the number of
patients it can effectively serve. Many patients prefer the warm, close relationship
they enjoy with the physician and staff of a single-physician practice. Some
experts consider a close relationship with the physician an important factor in
patient health.
