What is Family Medicine?

Family Medicine is the medical specialty which provides continuing, comprehensive health care for the individual and family. It is a specialty in breadth that integrates the biological, clinical and behavioral sciences. The scope of family medicine encompasses all ages, both sexes, each organ system and every disease entity.

When you or a family member needs health care or medical treatment, you want a highly qualified doctor dedicated to providing outstanding care. When you choose a doctor who is Board Certified, you can be confident he or she meets nationally recognized standards for education, knowledge, experience and skills to provide high quality care in a specific medical specialty. Board Certification goes above and beyond basic medical licensure.

What is a Family Physician?

Family Physicians are certified in Family Medicine and are dedicated to treating the whole person through all stages of life. A family physician will take the time to get to know his or her patients and families in order to help them make the right health care decisions. Family Physicians are uniquely qualified to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care, health maintenance, and preventative services to each member of the family.
