Family Medicine / Primary Care

Integrated Care for All Ages & Stages

Ogden Clinic believes that solid doctor/patient relationships are the foundation of a lifetime of health and wellness. Because of their extensive training, family physicians are qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive healthcare for the whole family. From newborns to seniors, and men and women alike, family physicians deliver a range of medical services.

Why Should I Have a Family Physician?

Family physicians are trained to diagnose and treat illnesses, although their real specialty is helping your family stay healthy in the first place. Routine check-ups and preventative care are an important part of a family physician’s job. Research shows that people who have an ongoing relationship with a primary care physician have better overall health outcomes and lower total costs of care.

Multi-generational Healthcare

The “family” part of family medicine is important. Physicians at our family practice clinics have the advantage of seeing multiple generations and developing an accurate, in-depth family health history. This enables them to watch for red-flags including inherited health conditions. Family physicians also coordinate with our other specialty groups to manage chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, and heart disease.

Common Conditions We Treat

Behavior Disorders

Behavior disorders are characterized by persistent feelings of fear, unease, or worry. Ogden Clinic family physicians are trained to recognize and treat disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, and more.

Headaches

Reoccurring headaches can be debilitating. Ogden Clinic physicians diagnose and treat a range of headache types including migraine, cluster headache, tension headache, sinus headache, chronic headache, and more.

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

A monitored combination of dietary changes and medication are the most effective way to reverse hypertension. Your age and current blood pressure will help your Ogden Clinic family physician determine the best treatment.

Lesion and Mole Removal

Family physicians can identify skin abnormalities and perform a removal and biopsy, if needed. The entire mole or lesion may be removed, or your physician may only remove a sample for examination.

Preventive Care

Preventive services from Ogden Clinic focus on preventing illnesses, injuries, or medical conditions before they occur. Prevention can include screenings such as blood pressure and cholesterol screens, diet counseling, annual exams, and mole evaluations.

Smoking Cessation

There are many ways to quit smoking, including over-the-counter and prescription nicotine replacement therapies, group support anti-depressants, visualization exercises, and more. Your Ogden Clinic family physician can explore your options for quitting tobacco.

Weight Management and Nutrition

As an expert in preventive services, your family physician knows that diet plays a tremendous role in supporting healthy habits. Your Ogden Clinic physician can explain the role of nutrition as it applies to your cardiovascular health, cellular health, bone health and more. They also provide nutrition counseling for specific medical conditions including obesity.
