Family Medicine

Hattiesburg Clinic has a network of family medicine providers who work to care for patients of all ages.

Family Medicine Overview

Hattiesburg Clinic’s family medicine physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are committed to providing specialized care for both children and adults. Their advanced comprehensive care includes wellness checkups, disease management, such as cholesterol or blood pressure, and routine illnesses or injuries.

Some patients like the convenience of having the whole family treated by the same doctor, while others may transition to family medicine after they “outgrow” the pediatric age group. Just like other primary care physicians (PCP), as family medicine physicians get to know their patients over time, it allows them to better personalize care to each patient. This lasting relationship also helps physicians identify any issues or warning signs early and monitor changes in a patient’s health over the years.

When it comes to your health, Hattiesburg Clinic is here to help. From treating complex conditions to preventing diseases before they start, we will help you find the right doctor for you and your family.

Services Provided by Family Medicine Doctors

A family medicine doctor is the first person a patient talks to about a health question or concern. Primary care physicians develop long-term relationships with their patients, getting to know them, their history and their health care preferences. Because a family medicine doctor practices comprehensive health care, they are trained in many areas and can address a wide variety of health concerns. Patients might ask their family doctor for:

  • Any medical questions that arise
  • Treatment of common illnesses
  • Preventative care (stopping illness before it happens), which includes screenings and vaccinations
  • Early detection of illnesses or conditions
  • Management of chronic or long-lasting conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes
  • Questions regarding family medical history
  • A referral to a specialist

What should you discuss with your family medicine physician?

Prior to your appointment, make a list of questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with your doctor. A few examples of important topics to discuss are:

  • What wellness tests should I have done?
  • Can you help explain my test results and what it means?
  • How does my family medical history affect my risk for certain conditions?
  • How can I eat a more nutritious diet? What is the best exercise plan for me?
  • I’m concerned about “X.” What precautions should I take? How worried should I be?
  • How often should I schedule an appointment?

What is the difference between chronic and acute medical conditions?

An acute illness is generally a short-term condition that only lasts a few days or weeks such as the flu. Chronic conditions are generally long-term conditions that may last months or years such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Why should I see a family medicine doctor?

It is important to talk about preventive care with your family medicine physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. A primary care physician serves as the key member of your overall health care team by providing routine and preventive screenings to prevent and monitor chronic conditions. A few examples of preventive screenings and care are immunizations, blood pressure screening, mental health assessments, diabetes screening and diet and exercise counseling.

All Hattiesburg Clinic family medicine locations provide comprehensive evaluation and care to meet the total health needs of each family member. Family doctors receive training in six broad areas of medicine: pediatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, surgery and community medicine.

What is the difference between a family medicine doctor and an internal medicine doctor?

While all primary care physicians have training across a broad range of health care services, there are some variations and specializations. Our goal is to help you pick the right physician for you.

Family medicine physicians care for patients of all ages, from infants to aging adults. Family medicine clinics often care for patients throughout their lives, going the next step to building a trusting relationship with a patient’s entire family to care for them for multiple generations. Family medicine physicians are trained in a broad range of medical specialties and are trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of diseases and conditions.

Internal medicine physicians, called internists, primarily care for adults. While some internal medicine doctors can also see children, internists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease in adult patients.
