English term or phrase:
primary care physician
German translation:
Allgemeinarzt / Hausarzt
English term
Native in: English 
primary care physician
From a questionnaire:
In the last week, have you visited a family doctor/general practitioner/*primary care physician*.
I guess it could be translated as "Hausarzt" if there wasn't family doctor... Any ideas?
Thank you!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Allgemeinarzt / Hausarzt
...based on the English definition/description "Allgemeinarzt / Hausarzt" are the most equivalent Terms
"A primary care physician or primary care provider (PCP) is a physician who provides both the first contact for a person with an undiagnosed health concern as well as continuing care of varied medical conditions, not limited by cause, organ system, or diagnosis. This term is primarily used in the United States, although this is a recent occurrence. In years past in the US and in Britain (and many other English-speaking countries), the equivalent term was/is “general practitioner”..."

Familienarzt
"family doctor/general practitioner/primary care physician"
Fachsprachlich ist es tatsächlich ein Arzt der Primärversorgung, das wird aber vielen Patienten wenig sagen. Du kannst also fragen ..."Hausarzt/Algemeinarzt/Familienarzt" und alle drei Optionen abdecken. Persönlich denke ich, dass Hausarzt/Allgemeinarzt allein auch ausreicht, aber das kannst Du letztendlich auch dem Kunden überlassen und es mit ihm abklären.
