What is Family Medicine?
-
We provide continuing and comprehensive health care for individuals and families across all ages. One of our greatest joys is to see patients grow over the years as well as caring for multi-generational families.
-
Family physicians are trained in the management of acute illness and injuries. This means that our providers can help you manage acute illnesses such as:
upper respiratory tract infections.
pink eye.
pneumonia.
bronchitis.
urinary tract infections.
musculoskeletal sprains, broken bones.
lacerations.
We try our best to accommodate same day appointments for acute needs. We encourage you to call and inquire about an appointment prior to going to an acute or urgent care clinic.

Preventive care is crucial to your overall health. Call for an appointment for a well child visit for children from birth - 17 years of age and annual visits for adults. These visits are typically covered annually by your insurance provider with no out of pocket cost.
