What Types of Services are Available in Family Medicine?

Family Medicine practitioners can fulfill most common healthcare needs, including: 

  • Chronic disease management

  • Diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses like the flu and Covid

  • Ordering and reviewing labs to get a full picture of your body’s health
  • Prescribing medications

  • Referrals for specialty care

  • Preventative care to help with things like sleep, weight control, heart disease and more.

When Should I See a Family Medicine Specialist?

The following are perfect times to make an appointment with a Family Medicine practitioner:

  • You’re new in town and want to establish a relationship with a trusted medical professional
  • You need an annual physical or sports physical
  • You want to be vaccinated against certain illnesses
  • You’d like to order labs or screening tests
  • You have a chronic condition that requires ongoing management or prescription support
  • You need a referral to a specialist for a larger health concern

Can a Family Medicine Provider Replace My Pediatrician or Geriatric Specialist?

Living in a remote community like Big Bear, it can be difficult to travel off the hill to attend specialty appointments. In such cases, family medicine providers are a trusted bridge between pediatric and geriatric specialists. In instances where general medical care is needed (diagnosing a cold or flu, performing a school physical, ordering lab work or prescribing medication for chronic conditions) a family medicine physician can be a reliable and convenient healthcare partner in your overall wellness journey.
