Why Choose Us?
We’re not affiliated with any other medical organizations in the area. That gives you a unique opportunity to get advanced care on a personal level. We want to get to know you first so we can give you a health plan that’s easy to follow so you achieve overall happiness. At Advanced Family Medicine you are more than your symptoms, you’re family. We are a local independent osteopathic practice.
Our passion is getting to know each and every one of our patients beyond their symptoms. That means we’ll not only help treat the symptoms that you’re currently dealing with but also to get to know you. We’ll take a look at anything else that could be contributing to your symptoms like diet, daily activity, or medical interactions.
