Primary care physicians are your advocates for good health: Family Medicine Pediatric Medicine Internal Medicine

Primary care medicine focuses on health care for all but very uncommon or unusual conditions. Your primary care physician works with you to:

• Coordinate your medical care across all specialties.

• Diagnose and treat illness.

• Promote healthy lifestyles and prevention.

• Manage your medications.

Family Medicine

Family medicine physicians specialize in the care of entire families and individuals of all ages. Their special training, skills and expertise qualify them to provide lifelong comprehensive medical care, health maintenance and preventive services to all members of a family, from infants to elders.

Family doctors at South Lane Medical Group know that years of learning about the health, strengths and life experiences of each family member enhances the care they give to the family as a whole. Their knowledge of the family as a unit allows them to serve as effective advocates and guides in health-related matters, including the appropriate use of consultants, health services and community resources across the lifespan.

At South Lane Medical Group, Family Medicine specialists are available at both Cottage Grove Hospital and Clinics and Creswell Clinic.

Pediatric Medicine

Pediatrics is the medical specialty concerned with the physical, emotional and social health of children from birth to young adulthood. Pediatric care encompasses a broad spectrum of health services, ranging from preventive health care to the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic diseases.

Pediatricians at South Lane Medical Group understand that children aren’t simply small adults and that many factors affect their growth and development. Children change rapidly, and they must be approached with an appreciation for their particular stage of physical and mental development.

South Lane Medical Group offers pediatric services at Cottage Grove Hospital and Clinics.

Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a branch of primary care that focuses on the health care of adults. Doctors of internal medicine are known as “internists” or “general internists” and shouldn’t be confused with “interns,” who are doctors in their first year of training after medical school.

Internists can provide general health care as well as non-surgical treatment for complicated and severe diseases of the blood and internal organs such as the heart, stomach, kidney and liver. South Lane Medical Group internists work with patients to help prevent disease and to manage chronic health conditions as well as diagnosing and treating new health problems.

South Lane Medical Group offers internal medicine services at Cottage Grove Hospital and Clinics.
