Defining Family Medicine

Patients are often confused by all that the term “family medicine” encompasses. Because it’s such a general term, it’s a challenge to pinpoint exactly what we mean when we talk about family medicine. In general, we might say family medicine is designed to treat each member of the family. A family physician typically has training and experience in a range of conditions, whether they’re acute, chronic, or only affect a segment of the population. Family practice doctors can take care of issues related to behavioral health, skin conditions, disease prevention, and general health management. Below we’ve listed some common services we provide at our family medicine center.
