Your Medical Home
Established in 1985 by Dr Glenn Withrow, The Family Doctor was designed to become a
"Patient Centered Medical Home" with the flexibility to help our patients with their unexpected injuries and illnesses.
What makes The Family Doctor different from other urgent care centers is that we provide each patient with a personal physician or physician assistant to provide first contact, continuous and comprehensive care.
Your personal physician is responsible for providing for all your health care needs or taking responsibility for appropriately arranging care with other qualified professionals.
Care is coordinated and/or integrated with specialists, hospitals, home health agencies, and nursing homes.
Quality and safety are assured by a quality improvement process, evidence based medicine, clinical decision-support tools, performance measurement, patient participation in decision-making, information technology and other quality improvement activities.
We use an electronic medical record (EMR) to organize your medical history and to communicate with specialists and local hospitals. We have an electronic link with UNC Hospitals, Duke University Medical Center, and Durham Regional Hospital.
Our office laboratory is certified with CLIA since 1985 and certified by the AAFP Proficiency Testing service.
Our Radiology services are inspected by the N.C. Division of Radiation Protection and a board certified radiologist interprets all of our x-rays
Enhanced access for care is available with extended hours: evenings and weekends. Appointments are scheduled for routine care.
" Giving Families Total Health Care Is Our Strongest Specialty"
