Family medicine is the medical specialty that provides continuing, comprehensive health care for the individual and family. Unlike other physicians who specialize in treating one particular organ or disease, your family physician is uniquely trained to care for you as a whole person, regardless of your age or sex.
In addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic illnesses, your family physician provides routine health screenings and counseling on lifestyle changes in an effort to prevent illnesses before they develop. And, if a health condition arises that requires care from another specialist, your family physician will be there to guide you and coordinate all aspects of your care. You and your family physician will work together to achieve the best possible outcome in the most cost-effective manner.
Dr. Lynda Varlotta treats all ages, infants to seniors.
