Family Physician

Selecting a Family Physician is one of the most pivotal healthcare decisions you can make. At WllMedica Clinic, We combine traditional primary care services with preventive care to ensure your overall wellness is being taken care of. Whether you’re in for a sick visit or routine care appointment, we’re here to keep you on the path to great health.

Our Family Physicians are uniquely equipped to coordinate specialty care within our vast network of medical providers. For instance, if your Family Doctor notices an abnormal mole during a routine checkup, they will work hand-in-hand with our dermatology department to conduct any necessary tests and initiate follow-up care if needed.

At WllMedica Clinic, our electronic health records system allows us to remain in control of your healthcare. Our family care and internal medicine providers can easily access your records from any of specialists at the touch of a button. This allows for a truly collaborative approach to total-patient care that is both convenient and comprehensive.
