Axis Family Medicine Is Your Center for Primary Care

Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors. This includes:

Caring for patients of age or with any health condition. Working to build and sustain an enduring and trusting relationship.
Understanding community-level factors and social determinants of health that impatient the patient.
Serving as a patient’s first contact for health concerns.
Working with patients to navigate the health care system, including specialist, hospital care coordination, and follow-up care.
Using data and technology to coordinate services and enhance care.
Considering the impact of health on not only the patient but also the patient’s family.

It’s the combination of passion for the patients and a depth of medical knowledge that makes primary care such a unique, effective specialty. Having access to a regular primary care physician has been linked to:

Lower infant mortality
Higher birth weights
Immunization rates above national standards
Lower overall health care costs
Longer, healthier lives

Our Family Physicians

Family physicians complete extensive training beyond medical school in order to be able to provide the best possible patient care, including a three-year residency; in-depth training across a human lifespan from birth to death; and potential additional fellowships and qualifications in concentrations like adolescent medicine, emergency medicine, faculty development, and more.

Family medicine residents participate in integrated inpatient and outpatient learning and receive training in six major medical areas — pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry and neurology, surgery, and community medicine.

Family physicians provide the majority of care for America’s underserved rural and urban populations. In addition to diagnosing and treating illness, they also provide preventive care, including routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Family physicians also manage chronic illness, often coordinating care provided by other subspecialists. From heart disease, stroke and hypertension, to diabetes, cancer, and asthma, family physicians provide ongoing, personal care for the nation’s most serious health problems.
