What is family medicine?

Family medicine is an area of practice focused on addressing the needs of all members of a family, from children to older adults. It is a combination of the time-honored tradition of the small-town, family doctor with advancements in medical technology that expand and enrich health care.

Dr. Behmanesh chose to practice family medicine because it offers a chance to make a positive impact on the lives of others. By delivering care to multiple members of a family, she gets to know not only their physical health needs but also the dynamics of their daily lives that have a direct influence on health and wellness.

Why choose a family medicine practice?

Convenience is what drives many people to choose to have all of their family members’ health needs met by the same skilled practitioner. You can save considerable time and energy by bringing everyone in to receive care from Dr. Behmanesh. 

Scheduling and recordkeeping are simplified in family medicine. Your family’s medical records are created using the same format and stored by the same practice, making it easy to forward those records to a specialist or emergency care provider if needed. Booking visits is also easier and prevents you from running all over town to get the care your loved ones need. 

Convenience may be what brings new patients into the practice, but the care and personalized treatment they receive from Dr. Behmanesh is what keeps them coming back.

What kinds of services are available through family medicine?

Family medicine practitioners are trained in pediatrics and managing care in children. They also have the skills and training needed for women’s and men’s health services, which focus on delivering the screenings and guidance needed to keep adults as healthy as possible. Experience in geriatric care allows them to treat adults as they move into their later years. 

Preventive care is the primary focus within family medicine. You’ll have access to the screenings that are right for your age, sex, and overall health and wellness. If you’re living with one or more chronic diseases, top-quality disease management will help you feel and function your best every day.

Acute care services are also available when the unexpected develops. If you or a family member is injured or becomes ill, having a trusted medical professional to turn to can make the experience far less stressful to navigate. COVID testing and treatment are also available.
