Responsibilities:
Family Medicine physicians specialize in caring for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of their patients and their families. They are trained to care for all ages, from children age 5 to senior adults.
Kelsey-Seybold’s family practitioners provide a wide range of services, including:
- Annual physicals and wellness exams
- Flu shots
- Immunizations for children and adults
- Preventive medicine
Because family practitioners are trained to treat the whole person, these specialists diagnose and treat the full range of problems people bring to their doctors. They also know when to bring in another specialist. In most cases, a referral from a family doctor is not necessary to schedule an appointment with a Kelsey-Seybold specialist, but the family doctor is an important part of the multispecialty team. The family doctor coordinates care with specialty physicians and other members of a patient’s care team.
Qualifications:
- Graduate of an approved training program in the United States.
- Licensed in the State of Texas.
- Board Certified and/or Board Eligible.
