As a family doctor, we're trained to see people of all ages, from pregnant women, to newborns, to adults, to the very elderly.

Family doctors are primary care physicians who care for patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly. They treat a variety of common ailments and injuries and might refer patients to specialists if more advanced treatment is needed. Family doctors counsel their patients on health topics, including the importance of preventive medicine, exercise and a healthy diet.
