Family physicians at Summit Medical Group treat all aspects of adult health. In addition to diagnosing and treating a range of illnesses and conditions, your family physician can provide routine health checkups and counseling. He or she can help you make healthy lifestyle choices, maintain or improve your health, or prevent illness. And if you have health issues that require a specialist's care, your family physician can recommend a doctor who has the expertise you need.

Our family physicians often collaborate with other health care professionals to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible. By developing long-term relationships with their patients, our family physicians are uniquely positioned to answer many questions about your health, create personal treatment plans based on your past and current health, and advise you about your risk factors. Research even shows that patients who have an ongoing relationship with their family physician have better overall health, lower death rates, and lower health care costs.
