Family Medicine Services at Lifecare Family Medicine

Having an annual physical is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain your health at every age. Annual physicals help identify disease risks and provide essential guidance to reduce those risks, along with other necessary care such as GYN services, immunizations, and minor procedures. The providers at LifeCare Family Medicine of LaVista offer comprehensive physical exams for adults, adolescents, and children/newborns, as well as support for sick visits.

Childhood is a time of very rapid growth and development. At LifeCare Family Medicine of LaVista, our providers help children stay healthy with regular annual physicals, immunizations, and other care tailored to their needs. We cater to children of all ages, from newborns to teens, providing guidance to prevent disease and make healthy choices as they grow older. Additionally, our GYN services and developmental exams ensure that potential problems are caught and addressed early, while also accommodating sick visits and minor procedures when necessary.

The staff at LifeCare Family Medicine of LaVista understands how miserable it is to be sick. Our providers are dedicated to providing prompt attention for patients requiring sick visits due to a cold, the flu, or other illnesses and symptoms. We also offer annual physicals, GYN services, immunizations, and minor procedures, with same-day sick visits available.

Our providers have extensive experience in delivering comprehensive GYN services to address all of your needs. During your annual physicals, you can expect a thorough visit that covers every aspect of your health. In addition to routine annual pap exams and contraception consultations, including Nexplanon implants, we also offer immunizations and are equipped to handle minor procedures. Furthermore, we have three providers who have received additional training and certification in both male and female hormone therapy, ensuring well-rounded care for all patients.

Vaccines play a vital role in protecting ourselves, our children, and our community from preventable diseases. Immunizing your child against these diseases can save your family time and money, but most importantly, it could save your child’s life and the lives of others. Additionally, keeping up with annual physicals ensures that immunizations are up to date, which is crucial for overall health. 

Our healthcare team can explain the many benefits of vaccinations and answer any concerns you may have, including those related to GYN services. We will review your vaccination records and your children’s, comparing them to the appropriate immunization schedule recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
