Family Medicine Clinic in Wendell, NC

You can call a family medicine doctor just that, or you can call one a family doctor for short! It’s a really good idea to have a family doctor for your family. There are lots of reasons why what they do is so helpful and even vital.

A family doctor can provide first-contact healthcare, preventative care, and continual care. This means you and your loved ones can see a family doctor for common health conditions like minor bone fractures or throat infections, and these conditions can often be prevented. A chronic condition like diabetes can be prevented or managed too. Even if all you need is general advice or family health advice, a family doctor can provide it and help you keep yourself and your family well. And if there’s a particular service a family doctor can’t provide, the doctor can give you a referral for a specialist and network with that specialist.

There’s another advantage of seeing a family doctor: if your whole family sees the same doctor, the doctor can easily identify and treat any genetic health issues that run in the family.

Actually, family medicine is a division of primary care. This means it can provide primary care services and continual and comprehensive care for individuals. Some of the family medicine/primary care services we provide at our clinic include:

• Men’s and women’s healthcare
• Pediatric care
• Geriatric care
• Diabetic care
• Skincare
• Travel medicine
• Allergy testing and treatment
• Medically supervised weight loss
• Many other non-emergency services

A family medicine doctor can become your primary care physician or a primary care physician for your entire family!

The two practices are very similar, so the terms “family medicine” and “general practice” are often used interchangeably, but there are differences between the practices. Typically, with general practice, basic care and services like X-rays and sutures are provided, while with family medicine, fundamental healthcare is provided, common illnesses and chronic conditions are treated, and patients of all ages can be seen.

With family medicine, any patient of any age can be seen, including a child, an adult, or a senior. You can go to a family medicine clinic for any services you need or bring in a family member who isn’t able to come in by oneself.
