All of our patients have a family doctor, otherwise known as a family physician, at the clinic. Our family physicians work as a team with other health-care providers to give patients the best possible care. Family physicians provide clinical leadership to the health-care team and oversee all care, including direct supervision when residents are seeing patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Physician\u2019s Assistant is an academically prepared and highly skilled health-care professional who can provide a broad range of medical services to you. PAs are physician extenders and not independent practitioners. The PA\u2019s scope of practice is determined on an individual basis and formally outlined in a practice contract or agreement between the supervising physician(s), the PA and the facility where the PA will work. Activities may include conducting patient interviews, histories and physical examinations; performing selected diagnostic and therapeutic interventions or procedures; and counseling patients on preventive health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
