Providers that practice Family Medicine cover to a broad spectrum of medicine in terms of patient, diagnosis and reasons for visit. Abilities span from pediatrics to geriatric patients and Family Medicine could be considered the first line of defense when it comes to diagnosing common ailments and referring more specific needs to specialized providers.

Most common Diagnosis

Due to the broad nature of their practice, Family Medicine will make diagnosis from a fungal infection of the toe nail up to alopecia (hair loss.)
Family Medicine sees patients for both sick visits and well/health maintenance visits.
