Family Medicine

Family medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on providing comprehensive care to individuals and families. Family medicine physicians provide preventive care and diagnostic care.

Preventive care involves taking proactive steps to prevent the onset of illnesses or disease. Diagnostic care involves identifying and diagnosing any health issues that may already be present. Both of these aspects of primary care play an important role in maintaining good health and well-being.

Our board-certified physicians at TexomaCare are specialists in the field of family medicine. They are trained in the diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses and problems. They provide medical care to newborn infants, children, adults and senior citizens.

They also provide ongoing care for chronic diseases and conditions and they help families maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our providers work to build a close relationship with every patient as they develop personal wellness and treatment plans.

Preventive Healthcare

Preventive care is an essential part of family medicine. It helps identify and address potential health issues before they become serious. Your family doctor administers preventive care services such as regular check ups, vaccinations, and screenings for common health conditions.

Our primary care physicians offer a wide range of services for the whole family, including:

• Annual wellness exams, physicals and preventive screenings. Physicals can help identify any potential health issues and provide recommendations for lifestyle changes or further testing. Screenings can detect issues such as high blood pressure or diabetes in their early stages.
• Vaccinations and immunizations. These can help to protect you against serious illnesses such as influenza, measles, COVID-19, chicken pox and more.
• Health counseling and education. This can help you learn and understand healthy habits and lifestyle choices. Counseling includes recommendations for a healthy diet, regular exercise and stress management techniques. By following the advice from your primary care doctor, you could prevent the onset of chronic conditions. It also helps you improve your overall health and well-being.

Diagnostic Healthcare

Diagnostic care is another important aspect of family medicine. It involves identifying and diagnosing any health issues that may already be present. Family medicine physicians serve as the first point of contact when people have an undiagnosed illness or injury.

Our primary care physicians offer a wide range of services to diagnose patients. They use imaging studies like X-rays and CT scans. These provide valuable information about a patient’s health and can help identify issues such as infections, tumors or broken bones.

Family physicians can diagnose many common conditions, including:

• Asthma
• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• High blood pressure
• Pneumonia and the flu
• Skin cancer

Our family doctors work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs. They can prescribe medications, recommend lifestyle changes and provide referrals to specialists for further care.
