Family Medicine

When you establish a relationship with one of our family physicians you'll get the comprehensive, effective, and personalized care you deserve. We care for our patients' physical, mental and emotional well-being by taking time to listen, learn your health history, and sort through options to help you make the right health care choices.

Our goal is to build lasting, caring relationships with our patients and their families.

Family Medicine and Obstetrics

Family Medicine is the medical specialty that provides comprehensive care for the individual and family, covering the spectrum from obstetrics, well baby care, immunizations and more. Each of our physicians is board certified including specialized training in high risk pregnancy and delivery. Having a family physician who also provides high-quality obstetrical services provides a family-centered perspective to the entire birth process.  When you are choosing your family doctor, you might want to consider whether childbirth is in your future, and if so, who will assist you through your pregnancy and beyond.

Imagine having the same physician caring for you during your pregnancy and continuing that trusting relationship into the future with your baby's needs as a newborn!

Our family medicine physicians provide all of the services you'll need throughout pregnancy, including on-site 3-D ultrasound, non-stress testing and laboratory services. They attend their patients' deliveries at nearby Hudson Hospital’s state-of-the art birthing center.

From confirming your pregnancy to overseeing your family's ongoing primary care, our board-certified family medicine and obstetric practitioners are ready to nurture a relationship across generations.
