Frequently Asked Questions

What is family medicine?

Family medicine is a branch of medicine that provides care for multiple generations. As a family medicine specialist, Mrs. Brock can care for you and your loved ones. One of the primary benefits of family medicine is that it can save you time and money on travel. You can schedule visits for you and your children (ages 11+) on the same day in the same location.

Choosing family medicine also allows you to build a lasting relationship with your healthcare provider instead of switching practitioners throughout your life.


What services are included in family medicine?

Brock Family Care offers multiple types of family medicine services, including: 

Chronic disease prevention and management.

Chronic diseases, like diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure), can lead to serious health complications — blood vessel damage, stroke, vision problems, etc. — without proper management.  

Maintaining your health now can help prevent chronic diseases from developing in the first place. If you already have a chronic disease, Mrs. Brock can help minimize your risk of complications.

Medication management

Medication management helps you take your prescription medications safely to ensure they have the intended effect. If you take multiple medications for chronic pain or diseases, medication management can help make sure you take the right dosage and avoid unwanted side effects.  

Cancer screenings

Pelvic, prostate, colorectal, and breast exams are just a few health screenings Mrs. Brock may recommend to detect early signs of cancer.

Urgent care

Urgent care services provide treatment for injuries and illnesses that require prompt medical attention, like a sprained ankle, urinary tract infection (UTI), or a deep cut.
