The similarities between the two may shock you, as internal medicine and family care doctors both fall under the same primary care category, as they both practice in the same field and offer similar services; however, that is about as far as it goes in similarities.

The main difference and will eventually be the reason you go with one and not the other is that internal medicine doctors only care for adults. They do not have any specialty other than on adult health and wellness, so you cannot take children to see an internal medicine doctor, as that is not what they focus on. If you want a doctor that can care for you and your young family members, it is best to go to a family care with family medicine doctors available.
