Entrust Coryell Health to Care for Your Whole Family

When you’re sick or need a physical, routine screening or vaccine, think of Coryell Health – we’re local, we’re compassionate, we’re discreet and we’re completely committed to providing you and your whole family with exceptional health care experience from start to finish.

At Coryell Health, the cornerstone of our family medicine program is an ongoing, personal, patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care. Our physicians can care for you and your entire family from birth, upward. This type of continuous, ongoing relationship gives your doctor the advantage of truly knowing and understanding you and your family.

If your doctor truly knows you, they are more likely to notice small changes in your body that may indicate a serious problem. Early detection can make all the difference, particularly with serious diseases, such as cancer. Treating family members means your doctor also sees your family medical history as it unfolds. This may allow your doctor to be extra vigilant in detecting, diagnosing and treating inherited diseases and when addressing mental or emotional needs, as well as shared physical conditions that may be caused by lifestyle or environmental factors.

One of the most important functions of family medicine is preventative care, which centers on patient education and health maintenance. Preventative care can help you and your family stay healthier longer, which also saves you money and helps improve quality of life. Among other offerings, preventative care may include regularly scheduled screenings, physicals or vaccinations; weight control and nutritional counseling; and even stress relief and anger management techniques.

If you have a health concern, whether big or small, your family doctor can help. Family doctors have been trained to and have vast experience with diagnosing and treating a wide variety of medical conditions from allergies and colds to flu and other viruses, as well as headaches, rashes, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, pregnancy and so much more.

With a Coryell Health family doctor, you also have continuity of care within the Coryell Health system. If you need a specialist, your doctor can help you find the right fit based on your particular medical needs as well as your personality and preferences. In addition, some insurance policies require a referral before you can see a specialist, so it’s convenient to have a family medicine doctor who can refer you quickly and easily. Like a quarterback, your Coryell Health family doctor continues to serve as your primary care physician. They stay involved throughout the process, coordinating and navigating your treatment plan with you, your specialist and your entire care team. With a Coryell Health family doctor, you never have to face any diagnosis, prognosis or treatment alone.

Your family doctor has one goal: to care for you and your entire being and that of your entire family. This includes your physical needs as well as mental and emotional ones. Unlike other specialties limited to a particular organ or disease, our family medicine team integrates care for all patients of all genders at every stage of life. Our family medical services include:
