Family Medicine

What is family medicine?

Family medicine is a medical specialty that provides primary care services for the whole family. Your primary care provider (PCP) is your health manager. They’re the first person you see when you need medical care.

A family medicine practitioner has extensive training so they can manage the health needs of your entire family, including you, your children, and your parents. They can diagnose and treat acute or chronic conditions. Additionally, they provide preventive health care to keep you and your family healthy.

Comprehensive Care Clinic is a family medicine practice providing health services for people of all ages.
