Family Doctor in Edinburg and Mission, TX

Family medicine is centered around the total health care of the individual and the family and is able to diagnose and treat a wide variety of ailments in patients of all ages. It is a precise discipline, integrating a unique blend of biomedical, behavioral, and social sciences even though the scope and practice of family medicine are broad. Family physicians possess unique skills, knowledge, and attitudes that qualify them to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care, preventive services, and health maintenance. Family medicine doctors are best qualified to serve as each patient’s advocate in all health-related matters. Utilizing consultations and community resources when appropriate, special emphasis is placed on prevention and the primary care of entire families.

A family practitioner will use their knowledge as a medical professional to diagnose and treat a variety of medical issues. They will refer the patient to an appropriate specialist if a medical problem is outside the range of practice of a family practitioner. A family practitioner is usually the first doctor that someone will call when they are experiencing an illness or health problem.

Some family practitioners are even able to oversee a pregnancy, help a woman give birth to a child, and supervise a newborn’s medical care. When caring for a patient or a family, family practitioners are able to participate in almost every aspect of the medical profession.

Our family medicine physicians and their care teams treat a wide range of medical conditions and injuries for patients of all ages, genders, and states of health.
