Family Practice

Your family’s well-being often depends on the proximity and practice of experienced healthcare providers. At our family medicine locations, nothing matters more to us than providing quality care close to home. We want to celebrate your family’s many milestones with you, providing compassionate care throughout all of life’s stages. You can come in for a visit when you or a family member isn’t feeling well, for a routine wellness checkup, or if you have questions or concerns regarding your family’s health.

What Is Family Medicine?

Family medicine is a division of primary health care that caters to all patients regardless of age, illness, or gender. Think of family medicine practitioners as your one-stop shop for a variety of basic health care needs.

Family medicine often shares this list of characteristics:

Broad Scope. Physicians aren’t limited to a particular practice—you can visit a practitioner with both acute and chronic conditions. Family medicine is also holistic, incorporating the patient’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being into care.

Ongoing Care. Care is ongoing. Family medicine is centered around continuity of care, fostering long-term relationships between patients and health care providers. A family medicine physician takes time to understand you and your family’s medical history as well as identify risk factors that could threaten your well-being.

Patient Focus. Family medicine adopts a patient-first approach, taking into account the patient’s needs, values, and preferences. Physicians also involve patients in decision-making to ensure they’re satisfied and on the same page about treatment procedures.

Collaborative Care. Family practice doctors work with other healthcare providers to coordinate patient care. For example, the physician can refer you to a specialist for further tests and treatment.
