What is a family medicine doctor?

A family medicine doctor cares for people of all ages. NextHealth Care is a family medicine practice that provides full-service care for people of all backgrounds. Family medicine can help, whether you need to undergo a physical exam, update your vaccines for work, or monitor a chronic condition.

What services does family medicine provide?

The NextHealth Care team offers various family medicine services, including:

Physicals

Physicals assess your general health and well-being. Everyone should schedule an annual physical exam to reduce the risk of common medical conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Lab testing

Lab testing analyzes your blood, urine, or saliva to gain insights into your health. Common lab tests include blood work, urinalysis, and bacterial cultures. NextHealth Care provides testing onsite and turns around most test results within 48 hours.

Chronic disease management

Chronic disease management uses lifestyle coaching, prescription medication, and routine checkups to manage long-term illnesses, like heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Enrolling in chronic disease management can reduce uncomfortable symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Vaccines

Vaccines are a type of primary care. They train your immune system to identify harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria. The NextHealth Care team offers annual vaccines, like the seasonal flu shot and the COVID-19 booster, as well as personalized vaccination schedules.

Preventive medicine

Preventive medicine uses healthy lifestyle changes and sex-specific screenings to reduce the risk of chronic health problems. Common examples of preventive medicine include breast exams, testicular exams, and Pap smears.

Wellness

Wellness is a family medicine subspecialty that focuses on your quality of life. It uses nutrition education, exercise guidance, supplements, and other similar services to boost your energy levels and improve your general health.
