Family Medicine
There are many reasons to partner with a family medicine provider at Astera at any age or stage. A few benefits include:
- Efficient access. Instead of seeking emergency care for injury or illness, you turn to your family provider for primary care. This saves time and money.
- One provider for the whole family. Scheduling checkups with multiple providers can be difficult. Family medicine providers can see and get to know your whole family.
- Personalized care. Your family medicine provider offers ongoing education and guidance tailored to your needs. That level of knowledge helps them recommend treatments that are specific to you. Family medicine providers learn your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals. With their assistance, you can take charge of your health in a way that aligns with your preferences and values.
