Here at Wheaton Medical Center we truly listen, pay attention to details and surround you with the best personalized care based on your needs.
Family medicine is the medical specialty which provides continuing, comprehensive health care for the individual and family. This medical specialty integrates the biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences. The specialty is three dimensional, combining knowledge and skill with a unique process.
At the center of family medical practice is the patient-physician relationship with the patient viewed in the context of the family.
It is the extent to which this relationship is valued, developed, nurtured and maintained that distinguishes family medicine from all other medical specialties.
The family physician functions as the patient’s means of entry into our integrative medical practice. The family physician’s care is both personal and comprehensive and not limited by age, sex, organ system, or type of problem, be it biological, behavioral, or social. This care is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, emphasizing disease prevention and health promotion. Above all, the scope of family medicine is dynamic, expanding, and evolutionary.
