What is a Family Medicine?

Family Practitioners have received extensive training in three areas:

Pediatrics

A Family Practitioner can provide care immediately following birth, both in and out of the hospital. In addition to evaluation and treatment of illness, this care includes routine well care (focusing on growth and development) and immunizations. Continuity of care is provided through adolescence and into adulthood.

General Medicine

A Family Practitioner provides preventative care and diagnosis/ treatment of common medical problems. Patients can be seen in an office or hospital setting. For the majority of medical problems, your Family Practitioner can help.

Gynecology

A Family Practitioner can provide this specialized care, which includes routine gynecologic exams, pap testing, contraception, cancer screening and prevention, and treatment of common gynecologic problems.
