Adult Medicine

Adult Medicine physicians specialize in the primary care of adult patients and often provide diagnostic consultations and expertise in evaluating difficult patient health problems.

The Adult Medicine physicians partner with nurse practitioners who work in collaborative practice with physicians to provide routine medical care to patients. The nurse practitioners are qualified to manage stable yet chronic illnesses, conduct routine physicals and provide patient education. If you prefer, you can see a nurse practitioner for many of your healthcare needs.

Convenient Care

Life’s aches and pains are never convenient, but we believe treating them should be. So just because you sprained your ankle on Saturday morning doesn’t mean you should spend a lot of time – and money – in the emergency room to get the treatment you need.

With our newly expanded Convenient Care hours, you can avoid the lengthy waits and pricy bills at the emergency room.
