In addition to providing everyday primary care services, our family physicians provide expert services for the following:

• Children's health care and well-child visits, which includes developmental screening, immunizations, patient safety, and parental guidance to help meet growth milestones.
• Low-risk obstetrics, office gynecology, and procedures for abnormal Pap smears.
• Immunizations, which have very successfully decreased the incidence of once-common diseases. But universal, population-wide immunization must be continued or the protection will be lost.

Preventive Health

For every age we provide screenings and physical exams.

Children

• Visits at one, two, six, nine, 12, and 15 months of age, then yearly thereafter
• Developmental screening, common parental concerns, anticipatory guidance, and all immunizations required by North Carolina Academies of Family Physicians and Pediatrics

All Adults

• Blood pressure and weight: Every one to two years
