Message from Family Medicine's Clinical Chair

Why do I enjoy working as a family medicine physician? Family Medicine physicians have a variety of important opportunities for patient-centered care in the context of rich relationships. Where else can you have this much legal fun and fulfillment? The combined knowledge and skill at Texas Tech Physicians leads me to bring up some key points:

There is enjoyment caring for the mother-to-be, the little brother and sister, the nervous dad, and all the grandparents.
There is excitement in acute care.
Family Medicine offers critical care points from sports injuries to hospitalized patients.
Family Physicians are able to mentor patients by placing educated advice and leadership within their grasp.

Why choose a family physician as your doctor?

Family physicians are trained to manage more than 90 percent of their patients' medical problems. Family physicians can provide pre-natal care, deliver babies, and care for children and adolescents. Family physicians can take care of the full range of adults' health needs, including prevention and health maintenance, as well as acute and chronic health problems.

Most patients want a personal medical home. Family physicians are the only physicians who are capable of providing this comprehensive care. The specialty of Family Medicine has always been on the forefront of patient-centered care.

If you are a patient seeking the care of a physician, Family Medicine can meet your needs.
