About Us

What is Family Medicine?

Family medicine, is comprehensive, continuing medical care provided to a family unit by a clinician. To be certified as a specialist in a family practice, a clinician must be trained in the following areas of medicine: pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and community and preventive medicine. To be certified by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), a clinician must complete a three-year family practice residency training program after medical school and pass a written examination administered by the American Board of Family Practice. This certification must be renewed every 7 years.

Scheduling An Appointment

Office visits are by appointment only. Please let the receptionist know the nature of your visit, so the appropriate amount of time is scheduled. If, for any reason, you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify the office 24 hours in advance.

What is Patient Centered Medical Home?

A Patient Centered Medical Home is called a “home” because we would like it to be the first place you think of for all your medical needs. Much like a home, the goal is to make it easy and comfortable for you to get the care you need in a way that works best for you. Within our home, a partnership develops between you, the patient and your healthcare team in order to coordinate the services you need and to provide you with the best care possible. The focus is on you.

As your Primary Care Provider, I pledge to:

• Send you to trusted experts if needed and coordinate with those experts about your care.
• Be available to you during and after regular business hours for your care needs.
• Explain disease, treatments and results in an easy-to-understand way.
• Learn all about you, your history, your care preferences and your health goals.
• Keep treatments, discussions and records private.
• Provide instructions on how to meet your healthcare needs after hours.
• Give you clear directions about treatments and medications.
• Listen to your questions and concerns to help you make decisions about your care.
• Provide optimal care based on nationally researched clinical protocols.
• Be sure to communicate: test results in a timely fashion, information about alternative services to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, and updates on vaccines and screenings.
• End every visit with clear instructions about physician’s expectations, treatment goals and future plans.
• Give us feedback to help us improve our care for you.

Your Patient Centered Medical Home can be a way for you to be informed about and involved in your healthcare decisions. The Medical Home can bring you, your family and your healthcare team together to help you make the best choices about your health.

Remember that you and your health are at the center of your Medical Home team. Southwest Orlando Family Medicine looks forward to serving you and your families’ healthcare needs.
