Center for Family Medicine and Integrative Health Care

The Department of Family Medicine (FM) at United Family Hospital is at the heart of United Family Healthcare.  It connects patients & families with specialist healthcare teams. As the term “Family Medicine” implies, these doctors’ scope of consultation is broad and comprehensive, covering both internal medicine and general surgery, women’s and children’s common diseases, and also, many other frequently-occurring diseases not named here.  Furthermore the diagnosis and treatment of patients covers all ages, from infants to the elderly.

Family Medicine physicians, (also known as General Practitioners (GPs) or Primary Care Providers (PCPs) can help patients resolve most of their medical issues. They provide effective treatment for minor diseases, have good knowledge of major diseases, treat acute illnesses, and provide continuous care for management of chronic diseases.
