What Is Family Medicine?

This area of medicine is dedicated to providing comprehensive and personalized healthcare to patients from birth through the senior years. Family medicine doctors are often referred to as primary care physicians and are the first ones that patients call for wellness check-ups or when symptoms arise. At Vanguard Medical Group, our highly qualified family medicine providers are committed to developing strong relationships with each patient, getting to know your lifestyle, family history, fitness levels, and any health concerns you may have, including complex medical cases and mental and behavioral issues.  

The Scope of Family Medicine

At Vanguard Medical Group, our family medicine services encompass much more than routine checkups and physicals. Our board-certified physicians diagnose and treat most medical conditions, referring patients to and coordinating care with subspecialists and specialists when required. Providing advanced primary care for infants, children, adolescents, and all other age groups, our family medicine services include:

• Health-risk assessments
• Minor wound and laceration care
• Preventative care and immunizations
• Personalized counseling for a healthy lifestyle
• Treatment of minor injuries, including sprains and strains
• Screenings for breast cancer, colon cancer, and other diseases
• PAP tests, contraception management, and other women’s health services
• Minor surgical procedures (i.e., removal/biopsy of abnormal skin lesions or wart treatment)
• Chronic disease management for conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, asthma, hypertension,  etc.
• And more…

Our Family Medicine Team

To become a family medicine doctor, physicians must complete medical school and a three-year comprehensive residency training program, as well as pass their board certification exams. They must also maintain their board certification by completing a required 50 hours of continuing education credits per year and passing reexaminations every seven to 10 years. The family medicine physicians at Vanguard Medical Group meet and exceed these expectations.
