Family
Practice (FP) is a broad discipline of medicine and more than 95%
of patients' problems can be cared for in a FP office. As a residency
trained FP doctor, I specialize in you, the patient. Complex, advanced
or unusual problems may require another specialist to assist in your
care, but I am able to orchestrate your overall care. The following
list gives you an idea of the specific areas of care provided at The
Family Practice. If you have any questions, please contact us at (719)
266-5244, or tfp@thefamilypractice.org. |
