Preventive care may sound unfamiliar, especially when we typically associate family physicians with diagnosing and treating ailments. However, preventive family medicine centers on safeguarding health, preventing disease, and educating patients to ensure well-being, beyond addressing illnesses and injuries.
At Family Medicine Specialists of Texas, we emphasize routine visits and education to maintain health and avert potential risks. Remember, seeing your family doctor is valuable even when you’re not sick.

Preventive Lifestyle Changes
Your family physician is your partner in reducing the risk of health complications through lifestyle adjustments. Lifestyle changes – such as altering your diet, quitting tobacco, increasing physical activity, or shedding excess weight – can significantly lower your susceptibility to certain health issues. Notably, diabetes and heart disease rank among the top causes of mortality in the United States. Regular exams and physicals at Family Medicine Specialists of Texas are key to preventing these concerns from impacting your family.
During these essential visits, we assess your health comprehensively, identifying potential problems and risk factors. By addressing issues like high blood pressure or high cholesterol in their early stages, we can suggest effective strategies for prevention. Take a proactive stance towards your well-being and equip yourself with the knowledge to avert avoidable illnesses.
