“I chose family medicine specifically to be able to treat individuals and families, because I enjoy being able to treat a diverse number of conditions in patients of all ages. I also believe in providing quality care that focuses on prevention and empowerment through knowledge, so I always encourage patients to ask questions. My goal is for our staff to create personalized, quality care for you and your family, because we know you personally, over time, and not just when you’re in crisis.”
- Dr. David Merrell

Family Medicine

We routinely care for patients of all ages, providing comprehensive medical services for the whole family, from babies to grandparents. In other words, family medicine is medical care for the entire family.

Our goal is to keep as much of your medical care with one medical team as possible, so that you only have to see a specialist when needed.

A yearly check-up to make sure you're staying healthy is an essential part of a plan to take care of yourself and feel your best. We check your overall well-being, review recommended screenings and vaccinations, and proactively screen for potential problems so that you can live the healthiest version of yourself.

A quick check-up to make sure your child or teen (or you) is healthy and ready to play sports safely. This includes completing any necessary paperwork or forms required by schools and other organizations.

We help patients manage long-term health challenges like diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, high cholesterol, asthma, and skin cancer with regular monitoring and support. Early detection, prevention, and consistency of care after diagnosis means a better quality of life for you and your family.

We offer compassionate support for anxiety, depression, stress, and other mental health concerns, right here in our office. We also have relationships with specialists and happily provide referrals when needed.

We treat common illnesses and minor injuries that need prompt attention but aren't emergencies, and therefore don't necessitate a visit to the emergency room.
