Patient satisfaction was assessed in adjacent family practice and non-family practice clinics at a Naval Regional Medical Center. Results indicated that patients in the family practice clinic (n = 341) were significantly more satisfied with care than those in the other primary care clinic (n = 390). Although older people and men were generally more satisfied with care, demographic factors did not differentially affect patient preferences for the family practice approach to ambulatory care.
