Specialty Care
Specialty care refers to medical services provided by healthcare professionals who have advanced training and expertise in specific areas of medicine. These specialists focus on particular conditions or body systems, such as cardiology for heart issues, orthopedics for bone and joint problems, or dermatology for skin conditions. Patients typically receive specialty care after being referred by their primary care physician.
Specialty care often involves more complex diagnostic tests, treatments, and procedures than general care. It is essential for managing chronic illnesses, performing surgeries, or providing targeted therapies. Access to specialty care can improve patient outcomes by ensuring that individuals receive the most appropriate and effective treatment for their specific health needs.
