Complete Primary Care Services for Adults
All too often, adults don’t visit a doctor until they are sick or injured, and that can sometimes be too late to change the course of an illness or injury.
At Metropolitan Family Health Network, our physicians believe in providing preventive primary care, which simply means taking measures to prevent diseases and injuries. This includes learning about your family history and risk factors, conducting regular physical exams and checkups, educating you about diet, exercise and healthy habits, and — if necessary — prescribing medications, tests and surgery that will help you to feel good and live a full and enjoyable life.
Our physicians also believe in treating the whole person, and that’s why we offer services to care for you from head-to-toe.
Here is a list of the services we offer to and for adults (anyone over 19 years of age):
