What is Family Medicine?

Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages

This looks like:

• Caring for patients regardless of age or health condition, sustaining an enduring and trusting relationship
• Understanding community-level factors and social determinants of health *Serving as a patient's first contact for health concerns
• Navigating the health care system with patients, including specialists and hospital care coordination and follow-up
• Using data and technology to coordinate services and enhance care *Considering the impact of health on a patient’s family

What happens during a family medicine visit?

During your family doctor visit, Tesha will ask you various questions about your health. She will also ask about your symptoms, any medications you are taking, and your family history. Tesha will also perform a physical exam, which may include checking your blood pressure, pulse, and weight. To book a visit is as simple as a phone call or a few moments on the online booking page, so don’t delay.
