PRIMARY CARE

In addition to Urgent Care needs, if you have never had or currently do not have a Primary Care Physician (PCP), we are also ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS to be your family doctor.  We can provide family healthcare for patients of all ages, but specialize in pre-adolescents and up.  We have a special niche for busy professionals, who are unable to miss work for traditional medical office hours, or for busy stay-at-home parents, who would prefer not to drag the entire family out for a doctor's appointment.  We can care for you on your schedule with afternoon or evening appointments.  If you become too ill to care for as an outpatient, or require inpatient surgery, our providers will also be making hospital rounds on our patients at the four hospitals near our facility (Crittenton, St. Joe's Oakland, POH, Troy Beaumont) and on rare occasion, within the Henry Ford and St. John health systems.  We primarily work with the Crittenton medical system.  We will make arrangements to see you or your loved one at an assisted-living facility, foster care home, skilled nursing facility, or local other extended care facility with due notice.  We also have an entire dedicated staff for palliative care and hospice services.  If you or a loved one would like home care but no longer desire hospital services or aggressive medical treatment, you may want to inquire about these services.  For added convenience, a variety of specialists (Dentistry/Periodontology, Dermatology, Ophthalmology/Optometry, Podiatry, Physical Therapy, Sports Rehabilitation, Medical Imaging, Obstetrics/Gynecology, and coming soon, Pharmacy) are available within the Crittenton Medical Plaza, allowing the potential to be treated by a multi-faceted, complete healthcare team, all at one location!

The following are types of services you may receive from us as your PCP:

• Yearly health maintenance exams ("check-ups")

Our goal is to provide you with the best healthcare available.  We strive to keep our patients happy, healthy, and spending a minimum of their time in healthcare facilities, while maximizing cost-efficiency of our patients' healthcare dollars.  We utilize full digital, high-tech diagnostics and electronic medical records for state-of-the-art health care, yet we maintain our traditional values and caring approach to each patient, reminiscent of the small town family doctor of yesterday.
