Family Medicine

At CN Internal Medicine, family medicine is an area of health care that specializes in diagnosing and treating health problems in people 18 or older. Your health needs often change dramatically as you move through the unique stages of your life. Through primary care, you meet with your family medicine specialist to maintain an ongoing record of your health, making it easier to identify subtle changes that could indicate a serious underlying condition as well as ensuring you receive the proper health screenings and tests to keep healthy. Family medicine also provides an opportunity to receive important lifestyle guidance as you look forward to the future. CN Internal Medicine is an adult primary care practice with compassionate providers who are ready to help you and your family with your health concerns and goals.

You can prepare for your visit by gathering any information needed to ensure your provider can understand as much as possible about your health. This includes writing down any prescription medications and supplements you take. If you or your loved one is visiting CN Internal Medicine, you may also want to write a list of questions or concerns you have.

During your family medicine consultation, your provider reviews your medical and family history. If you have a new or ongoing health issue, they may also ask about your symptoms and conduct a physical exam to look for signs of disease. They often take a measure of your blood pressure, weight, and height, check inside your ears and throat, and palpate your organs to find any abnormalities. The information they gather at your physical can help determine if you’re at risk for certain issues like obesity, diabetes, or heart disease. You may need lab tests like bloodwork, urinalysis, or stool samples. Finally, your provider discusses their findings and makes recommendations for treatments as needed.
