Family Medicine

What is Family Medicine?
Family Medicine is a discipline of medicine that offers comprehensive primary health care for the whole family. While many specialties are limited to just one disease, system, or organ, Family Medicine doctors specialize in the whole body. Family Medicine doctors like Stella offer continuing primary care for patients of all ages, sexes, and backgrounds, from infancy up. Stella forms relationships with patients so that as you or your children age, you receive thoughtful care based not only on Stella’s skill and expertise, but also personal knowledge of your health history and preferences.

What services can I receive through Family Medicine?
Through Family Medicine, you can receive a wide range of comprehensive health care services including, but not limited to:

• Chronic condition treatment (diabetes, asthma, heart disease, etc.)

• Treatment for acute conditions (headaches, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, etc.)

• Routine physical exams

• Immunizations and vaccines

• Chronic disease screening

• Nutrition counseling

• Mental and behavioral health counseling and referrals

• Skin care

Family Medicine visits are available in person or via telehealth.

Why should I choose Family Medicine?
When you choose Family Medicine, you choose more than primary care. You choose a doctor-patient relationship with a caring team that is prepared to help you stay healthy through the journey of life. Family Medicine streamlines care and saves you countless hours of uncertain research. Instead of finding a doctor for every ailment and organ, with Family Medicine, you can instead turn to Stella for all of your medical needs. If you come to Stella with a medical concern that may be better treated by a specialist, care is diligently coordinated. Support is provided by connecting you with trusted specialists and helping you navigate the medical system.
