If
you have
answered
yes to any
or all of
these questions,
then you
need a family
doctor. TodayÕs
family doctors
are specialists
in family
practice.
The specialty
of family
medicine
is centered
on lasting
and caring
relationships
with patients
and their
families.
Family physicians
specialize
in caring
for the physical,
mental and
emotional
well being
of their
patients
and their
families
as well.
We know how
your familyÕs
health history
and situations
can affect
your health
and this
is taken
into account
when we are
caring for
you.
Family physicians
are trained
in all major
medical areas
and can diagnose
and treat
the full
range of
problems
people bring
to their
doctors.
We know when
to treat
you and when
to bring
in another
specialist
that you
can trust
to provide
continuity
in care and
treatment.
A family
physician
understands
that you
are not a
collection
of parts,
symptoms
or conditions,
but a unique
individual.
Family physicians
are trained
to care for
the whole
person throughout
all the stages
of your life.
Family practice
doctors are
knowledgeable
on most of
the current
treatment
modalities
and available
technology.
We are required
to recertify
our education
more than
any other
medical specialist.
This promotes
applying
the latest
medical breakthroughs
in the daily
care of our
patients.
Our training
includes
preventative
medicine
and our belief
is that the
prevention
of a health
problem is
much more
desirable
for our patients,
than overcoming
a preventable
health issue.

a network

preventative
care and
are up to
date on the
