Here at Main Line Health in the suburbs of Philadelphia, your family practice physician is your main doctor over the course of many years, treating the whole person, not just a disease or an organ system.

- Diagnosing and treating common medical problems
- Helping you maintain good health and prevent disease
- Treating serious illness
- Maintaining your medical history such as regular screenings and checkups
- Managing and coordinating care should a specialist be required

- Preventive health – such as well-child care, adult physicals, geriatric assessments, well-woman exams, contraceptive maintenance, school and sports physicals, flu shots and immunizations, weight-loss guidance and other risk behavior reductions such as smoking cessation
- Acute care for minor illnesses – illnesses such as colds and flu, sore throats, coughs, headache and in-office procedures such as skin removals, mole biopsy, laceration repair and preoperative consultations
- Minor injuries – such as sprains, falls and burns
