Family Medicine

A lifetime of healthcare.

Telemedicine Visits are Now Available for New & Established Patients

Family medicine is the core of what we do. While many patients benefit from our vast range of specialty services, our experienced family practice physicians help you build a solid foundation for lifelong health. Within our family practice offices, we offer a comprehensive range of medical services, including physicals, risk assessments and lab tests, in addition to routine medical care for common health concerns.

At our family practice locations, we provide prompt, compassionate care for the following conditions:

  • Colds
  • Flus
  • Fevers
  • Sore throats
  • Ear & eye infections
  • Strep throat
  • Bronchitis

Our family practice physicians also provide long-term care for chronic health conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, anemia and diabetes. With proper care, these illnesses can have less of an impact on our patients’ lives, making it possible for them to do more of what they love.

Preventive care is another key aspect of our family practice. At Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health, we believe that health care is more effective than sick care; that’s why we are proud to provide dietary counseling, immunizations, flu shots, and screenings for a variety of common cancers.

Patients who are identified as having more specialized care needs can be seamlessly referred to specialist providers within the Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health network. We have more than 30 unique specialty departments, all of which are connected through our electronic health record system. Utilizing this innovative technology, we are able to coordinate every aspect of your care. Our ultimate goal is making sure that your prescriptions, preventive care plans, and specialty treatment recommendations work together in harmony.

And, because we understand that it’s impossible to predict when an injury or illness will arise, we offer many of our family practice services on an urgent care basis, enabling you to access the care you need when you need it most.

Our family physicians treat patients of all ages, from infants and adolescents to adults and seniors. To learn more about our family medicine services, contact Florida Medical Clinic Orlando Health today.

Chronic Disease Management

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, require routine management by a family medicine provider. We will monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan or medication as needed.

Flu Shots

Getting a flu shot every year is an important part of ensuring good health through flu season and beyond. Our family practice providers administer a range of up-to-date flu shots to help protect our patients from the flu.

Individualized Risk Assessments & Screenings
