What Is Family Medicine?

Your Baytown physician takes pride in providing care for all your family members. A family doctor takes time to get to know your medical and family history to better assess the health of your family members. See your doctor for preventive care like regular physicals, recommended immunizations, and routine screenings.

We focus on treating the whole person, including addressing mental health concerns, and can provide recommendations and referrals for specialists when needed. Your primary doctor can also help ensure continuity of care when managing any illnesses or chronic conditions.

What Is Community Health?

Community health considers where and how someone lives as much as a person's genetics when assessing their health. Some things that influence a community's health are access to healthcare, access to good nutrition, safe housing, and access to physical activities or outdoor space. Community health services like preventive care aim to improve the quality of life for whole communities or populations.

How Does a Family Doctor Influence Community Health?

Benefit your family by seeing a physician that supports community health by providing treatment for acute and chronic diseases, recommended vaccinations, nutritional guidance, women's health, and mental health. We consider your environment when diagnosing you, and prescribe treatments tailored to your lifestyle for you to see the best results. When your doctor is informed about your community's health problems and your family's particular challenges, we can better navigate you to a healthier way of living.
