Family Care in Lexington, KY

View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

As a family medicine physician,
we are the patient's first point of contact,

and we also see patients of all ages.

That's kind of what makes family medicine special.

We have to do a little bit of everything.

We offer a lot of services here
at this office for primary care.

We do a lot of infant, young youth care,
but we also provide a lot of care for middle-aged

and the elderly.

And then we manage, kind of,
the routine body care for anybody else that has any

complaint that walks in this door.

What I'm the most proud of, being a family physician,
is being able to say that I made a change

in the community that I live in and just seeing
the appreciation that patients have.

I think it's really important when you're...especially
practicing in this small community,

I think patients really see their
family physician as a family member.

And I think just them knowing that there's someone
there that they can trust for anything that they or

their family needs, that will almost encourage them
to make an effort to take care of themselves

and come in more routinely.

So, our goal is to not only treat you when you have
a problem that's come up but to prevent that problem

from even happening.

And so, that's why we emphasize coming in regularly
and making sure we can prevent

the hypertension, the diabetes.

Anything that we can do to keep you healthy,
that's what we're here for, is to kind of guide you

along that way to live a long, healthy life.
