Family Doctor tells the story of Dr. Grant Adams, a wise and humorous doctor in a small town who serves as both the community's physician and their moral rectifier. Each week, Dr. Adams confronts various communal issues, ranging from robbery to suicide, and addresses these problems with his common sense and gentle moral judgment. While his old-fashioned remedies for illnesses may be considered outdated by modern standards, his approach to dealing with life's daily issues remains timeless. The show features thirty-nine episodes, out of which only twelve were ever aired. Family Doctor's entertaining and engaging narrative ensures that listeners will be eager to hear more stories from the quirky inhabitants of the small town.

Set in Cedarton, a town characterized by its generally healthy and good-natured residents, the show explores the challenges and moral dilemmas faced by these individuals, with Dr. Adams always ready to help guide them on the right path. Each episode is self-contained and does not end on a cliffhanger, but maintains many soap opera elements, such as organ music and local advertisements. At the end of every episode, Dr. Adams signs off saying, "This is the family doctor. I'll be in to see you again right soon. Goodbye…"
