Benefits of the SDMG’s Family Practice include:

Comprehensive Care:

Our family doctors develop long-term relationships with their patients and family. The health concerns of each patient can often be addressed with our primary care doctors. Their training and experience allow them to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions from multiple fields of medicine that are faced by our patients every day.

Continuity of Care:

By having a primary care doctor at Slocum-Dickson, you establish a long-term relationship with a healthcare professional who gets to know you and your family’s medical history. This continuity of care allows for better management of chronic conditions, preventive care, and early detection of potential health issues. Our family practice is invested in the healthcare journey of each family member.

Preventive Care:

Preventive care, including regular check-ups, vaccinations, screenings, and health education, can help identify risk factors and provide guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
SDMG’s family-focused approach can help identify risk factors based on family history and provide guidance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and helping to prevent the onset of more serious health problems.

Coordination of Care:

Because of the holistic knowledge SDMG’s primary care doctors have of each patient’s personal health history, they are able to serve as an advocate in all health-related matters – including the appropriate sources of care, including outside consultants and community resources. They can serve as the central point of contact for coordinating care among different specialists, including managing referrals and ensuring that all healthcare providers are on the same page regarding the treatment plan.
