Things to Consider
A family medicine doctor is qualified to treat patients of all ages, from newborns to senior citizens. An advantage of having a family medicine physician is that they treat many different conditions and can check for specific illnesses. If you require a specialist, one of our family medicine physicians can refer you to a University Medical Center specialist so that you can schedule additional appointments and treatments in the same facility.
Our family medicine doctors can also handle all your preventive care needs, and they’re not limited to a particular organ or disease when handling in-depth treatment. All of our family medicine doctors have received extensive training, including a three-year residency where they are educated and trained in all the major medical areas to treat acute illnesses and help manage chronic diseases.
