Physician

Sometimes physicians make house calls to diagnose illnesses and treat patients. In addition to providing direct medical care, physicians work with other professionals to develop and oversee a treatment plan. 

Physicians also decide which specialists are best suited to provide other types of services, such as physical therapy and counseling.
