Family Medicine physicians at NSMC provide primary care for people of all ages, from infants to seniors. They diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, and provide annual check ups, age-appropriate screenings and vaccinations. Because Family Medicine physicians treat all members of a family, they have the advantage of being able to gain a comprehensive view of that family. Some families prefer to see just one physician for all their health needs.

Many of our Family Medicine physicians have sub-specialty training, including Adolescent Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Sleep Medicine and/or Sports Medicine. If a patient requires specialized follow-up care or hospitalization, Family Medicine physicians coordinate referrals to specialists at NSMC.
