Family Practice

Summit Medical Specialists has two family nurse practitioners (FNPs) on staff to provide family medicine services to men and women. Family medicine focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating illnesses and injuries, both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term). When you choose Summit Medical Specialists as your primary care provider, you'll be able to get physical exams, preventive services, and gynecologic exams all in one place. We also offer sick visits for patients with fever, cough, body aches, and other signs and symptoms of acute illness.

For patients with chronic medical conditions, we offer comprehensive management to keep the symptoms under control and prevent each condition from worsening. Our care providers have experience managing patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic medical problems. If necessary, we can also order X-rays, lab tests, and other diagnostic services.
