Family medicine physicians, as the name implies, are trained to treat the physical, mental and emotional needs of families throughout all stages of life. By seeing a family physician, parents and children receive their health care from the same doctor. Family physicians are able to then build a comprehensive and personal picture of the health needs of not only the individual but of the family as a whole.

PAMF physicians are board certified by the American Academy of Family Medicine and diagnose and treat the full range of medical conditions that people bring to doctors. The Family Physicians at PAMF also emphasis the need for preventive medicine. Prevention of health problems is better then treating them, and our doctors believe in helping parents and children in making the right choices in their lifestyles.
