Primary care providers:

Family Practice: Traditionally, physicians dedicated to family practice are called upon to meet a wide variety of common healthcare needs. Their broad-based medical training is an asset in detecting the onset of serious medical problems. This assures you of timely treatment and referral to a qualified specialist, when required.

The General Practitioner diagnoses and treats a large variety of diseases and conditions, and has the option of referring certain conditions to a specialist for further investigation and management.

Pediatrics: The healthcare needs of children are often much more involved than those of adults. In choosing a pediatric physician as the primary care provider for your youngsters, you are selecting a “specialist” who is attuned to the latest breakthrough in child healthcare. You’ll find pediatricians are an excellent source of information for such parental concerns as child development, diet and immunizations. Furthermore, your children’s participation in pediatric well-child care programs is an invaluable asset during those important growth years.

Internal Medicine: In many instances, adults - especially those faced with debilitating chronic illness - may find it preferable to have an internist as their primary physician. Their extensive training and ability to treat complex medical problems make them well equipped to meet adult healthcare needs.

Obstetrics-Gynecology: Many women prefer to visit an obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) for their special healthcare needs. These may include breast exams, routine gynecological checkups and prenatal care.
