Family Medicine

Focusing on a more holistic approach to healthcare, family medicine takes into consideration the continuing and comprehensive health of an individual and their family. We encourage a whole of life view of a patient and their health to encourage care and monitoring of wellbeing, as opposed to consulting with a doctor only when an illness arises.
