Unlike any other specialty, our family practitioners build close bonds, often with several generations in one family. We know your family is important to you and that those you interact with day to day impact your health and wellness. Our providers have the unique ability and duty to tend not only to the patients' biological concerns, but also to their psychological, emotional, and overall health, creating a strong patient-practitioner relationship. Our providers treat individuals of all ages and many have had the delight of seeing their patients mature through the years, moving from childhood to parenthood and even grand-parenthood. A family practitioner is often intimately involved with the inner workings of a family. An example of this might be: A father comes into the office suffering a sudden flare up of a chronic condition and the practitioner ask about family or other aspects of their lives. He discovers that the man's wife is on the verge of losing her job, which would put an enormous strain on the family economics. It's routine in family medicine to ask about a patient's life and correlate it to the overall health of the patient. The practitioner knows that these seemingly unconnected details can many times give a wealth of insight into the individual as a whole, allowing him or her to more accurately treat and better care for their patient. |
