Family Medicine
Comprehensive Care for Families Throughout All Life Stages
Family medicine doctors care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, and often care for several members of the same family. Family medicine are board certified in managing the overall health of growing individuals of any age – not just a specific age group.
At Loyola Medicine, family medicine doctors are devoted to providing quality care with compassion for each individual member of a family. Having a consistent doctor for yourself or your whole family can often lead to better treatment plans, because family medicine doctors will get to know you thoroughly over time.
When considering treatment options, your Loyola family medicine doctor will consider your medical and family history, as well as your personal health goals and lifestyle.
If you have a medical condition that needs more specialized care, your doctor will refer you to a Loyola cardiologist, neurologist or other specialist. Our family medicine doctors work closely with Loyola’s world-class specialists, bringing a multidisciplinary approach to caring for patients using the latest resources available in an academic setting.
Loyola offers many family medicine facilities across Chicagoland so you can see your doctor at a location that is convenient for you.
