Family Medicine

Simplifying life isn’t always easy but choosing a family doctor is one way you can simplify your family’s healthcare. Rather than finding a different physician for each member of the family, choose one of Beaufort Memorial’s family medicine primary care providers to treat the whole family.

Our family doctors are trained in all areas of medicine, allowing them to treat the whole person and the whole family throughout all stages of life – from childhood to the golden years. By building a relationship with you and your family, a family doctor not only documents your health as you age, but also comes to understand how your relationships impact each other’s health.

Make taking care of your family a little easier. Find a family medicine physician to be your primary care provider online.

What to Expect from Your Family Doctor

Your family doctor is trained to diagnose and treat all acute and chronic illnesses. With a focus on preventative care, he or she will provide the entire family with annual check-ups, regular health screenings and provide education on living a healthy lifestyle.

Family medicine specialists are trained in:

  • Care for all ages – from infants to the elderly
  • Chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and heart disease
  • Ear, nose and throat care
  • Mental and behavioral health care
  • Bone and joint care
  • Eye care
  • Basic testing such as X-rays
  • Minor surgical procedures

If a health issue arises, your primary care physician will refer you to a specialist with whom he or she has a long-term, collaborative relationship. He or she will work with the specialist to achieve the best outcome possible for you or your loved one.
