What is Family Medicine?

A family medicine clinic can see and treat patients of all ages. While pediatricians care for children and internal medicine physicians care for adults, family practitioners roll these practices into one specialty. Because we care for members of all ages, many families come to see us and develop lifelong relationships. Visiting a family doctor allows you to foster healthy lifestyles in your children; since they come to see us regularly as they grow up, they become comfortable with our office and have confidence that we will be familiar with their evolving medical needs. Becoming familiar with a patient through every stage of their life allows us to diagnose and treat issues quickly, make more informed decisions, and direct you to necessary specialists as needed.

If you want to learn more about how our family medicine center can help your household in the Pigeon, Caseville, Elkton, Sebewaing, and Bade Axe areas, don't hesitate to contact our office. Our family doctors can’t wait to meet you!
