Family Medicine
Wellstar family medicine provides comprehensive, coordinated care for people of all ages.
Family Medicine at Wellstar
Whether you are sick or need a routine checkup, your Wellstar family medicine physician will work with you to help achieve your best possible health. Unlike physicians who specialize in treating one organ or disease, family physicians care for you as a whole person, regardless of your age or gender.
In addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic illnesses, your family physician provides annual health screenings and counseling to help prevent illnesses before they develop. If a health condition arises that requires a specialist, they will help coordinate all aspects of your care. Your family medicine physician knows your complete health profile, with ready access to Wellstar’s integrated system of specialists, surgeons, imaging facilities, labs and hospitals.
