What You Need To Know About Family Medicine
Let’s look at some of the important medical services available at Premier NW Houston Medical Group:
Annual physicals, to assess the overall health of adults in your family. During an annual physical, your family medicine doctor will use preventive medicine services like immunizations, laboratory testing, and more to identify medical conditions early, when they are easily treatable.
Sports and school physicals are an important service to help ensure your child or teen are healthy when entering school or playing a sport. They are also a requirement to protect the health and safety of your child.
Sick visits, to help you or a family member recover from an acute illness or injury. Colds, flu, and other illnesses can be diagnosed and treated during a sick visit. It’s important to visit your family medicine doctor if you or a family member has:

- A bacterial infection like strep throat, or an ear infection
- An injury from a sports or vehicular accident
- An injury from a work-related accident
