Family Medicine

Comprehensive care for every stage of life

Our Family Medicine team is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate care for the entire family—from newborns to older adults. We believe in building lasting relationships with our patients and delivering care that evolves with your needs throughout every stage of life.

Infants & Toddlers (Newborn to age 3)

Giving your child a healthy start.
Our team provides attentive, gentle care to support early development and wellness. Services include:

  • Newborn check-ups (initial visits to assess feeding, weight gain, jaundice, and parent concerns)
  • Well-child visits and developmental screenings (regular check-ins to track growth, motor skills, language, and social development)
  • Vaccinations and immunizations (routine protection against serious illnesses like measles, whooping cough, polio, and more)
  • Nutritional guidance (support with breastfeeding, formula feeding, starting solids, and managing food allergies or sensitivities)
  • Monitoring growth milestones (tracking height, weight, head circumference, and developmental progress over time)
  • Treatment of common childhood illnesses (care for ear infections, colds, fevers, rashes, and stomach bugs)
  • Sleep and behavior support (guidance on safe sleep, soothing techniques, and managing early behavioral challenges)
  • Parental education and support (helping caregivers feel confident with newborn care, safety, and bonding)
Children & Preteens (Ages 4-12)

Laying the foundation for lifelong health.
We help children thrive with proactive care and health education tailored to growing bodies and minds:

  • Annual physical exams and school/sports physicals
  • Age appropriate immunizations
  • Management of allergies, asthma, and other pediatric conditions
  • Behavioral and emotional health screenings
  • Nutritional and fitness advice
  • Urgent Care
  • Same Day Sickness (Colds, flu, ear infections, minor injuries, sore throats, and gastrointestinal issues)
Adolescents & Teenagers (Ages 13-19)

Supporting independence and healthy habits.
Adolescence is a time of rapid change. Our providers offer a safe, confidential space for teens to ask questions and get the care they need:

  • Routine check-ups and immunizations (important for monitoring development, preventing disease, and maintaining overall health)
  • Reproductive and sexual health education (includes information on puberty, consent, contraception, and STI prevention)
  • Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) (teens are at higher risk for STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, HIV, and hepatitis)
  • Mental health support and counseling (provides a safe space to address emotional well-being, stress, and relationship challenges)
  • Obesity (can lead to diabetes, heart disease, and other long-term health issues if not addressed early)
  • Asthma (a chronic respiratory condition that may worsen with exercise or environmental triggers)
  • Sports injuries (including sprains, strains, and concussions, especially in active or athletic teens)
  • Substance Use Disorders (alcohol, marijuana, and drug use can affect brain development and lead to addiction)
Adults (Ages 20-64)

Staying strong and preventing illness.
From your 20s through midlife, we help you take control of your health with preventive care and personalized support:

  • Annual wellness exams (routine physicals to assess overall health, review lifestyle habits, and catch issues early)
  • Preventive health screenings (such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol levels, cancer screenings, and diabetes testing)
  • Women’s health services (including Pap smears, breast exams, contraception, and menopause support)
  • Men’s health services (including prostate exams, testosterone screening, and counseling on sexual health and fertility)
  • Family planning and contraceptive counseling (guidance on birth control options, preconception care, and fertility concerns)
  • Management of chronic conditions (support for long-term conditions like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and high cholesterol)
  • Medication management (ensuring proper use, minimizing side effects, and adjusting prescriptions as needed for chronic illness)
  • Lifestyle counseling (support with nutrition, exercise, weight management, and smoking cessation to reduce long-term health risks)
  • Mental health support (screening and treatment for anxiety, depression, stress, and other common adult mental health concerns)
  • Acute care for illness or minor injuries (treatment for colds, flu, infections, sprains, cuts, and other urgent but non-emergency conditions)
Older Adults & Seniors (Ages 65+)

Healthy aging with dignity and support.
We understand the unique healthcare needs of aging adults and offer tailored care to promote comfort, mobility, and independence:

  • Comprehensive geriatric assessments (evaluation of physical health, cognitive function, mobility, and social support needs)
  • Annual wellness visits (focused on age-appropriate screenings, immunizations, and preventive care planning)
  • Chronic disease management (ongoing care for conditions like arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis)
  • Cognitive health monitoring (screening and support for memory loss, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and related concerns)
  • Medication review and management (to reduce polypharmacy risks and minimize adverse effects or interactions)
  • Fall risk assessment and mobility support (evaluating balance, gait, and home safety to prevent injury)
  • Hearing and vision screenings (detecting and addressing sensory impairments that affect quality of life and independence)
  • Mental health support (addressing isolation, depression, anxiety, and grief common in older adulthood)
