Our Practice
We provide Family Practice medicine in Hampstead, NC. We focus on creating great relationships with patients so we can provide them with a great experience in a relaxing environment. That can make a big difference for some one who is reluctant to see a health care provider regularly.
Acute Care
We strive to be available when you need us most. We get our patients who are not feeling well evaluated as quickly as possible either in the office or through a Telemedicine visit. We can provide you with a tetanus update and repair lacerations in the office. We can arrange for outpatient x-rays 24/7 through the ER in Scott’s Hill without having to register as an ER patient. We also provide IV Hydration therapy for any reason associated with dehydration like: a stomach bug or sweating.
We will do our best to help you avoid going to the ER or urgent care by seeing patients as quickly as possible and outside of business ours and on weekends when we are available. Our official business hours are Monday through Friday, but we will go out of our way for our patients when we can.
Preventive Care
Most health insurances will cover a wellness exam once a year, at no cost to the patient. This includes a comprehensive exam along with laboratory testing. The typical lab testing includes a complete blood count, thyroid function testing, cholesterol, and a comprehensive chemistry that monitors liver function, kidney function, electrolytes and blood sugar. We will also consider lab screening tests based on age and family history for things like diabetes and prostate cancer. Other tests can be arranged like mammogram, CT scanning for lung cancer screening, and either stool testing or referral for colonoscopy for colon cancer screening will also be considered.
