Pelican Family Medicine

Adolescent medicine is an area of healthcare that specializes in common medical issues that occur during puberty. Adolescent medicine goes beyond a regular check-up or prescription and addresses social pressures that accompany preteen and teenage years. We deal with acne, menstruation, abnormal or accelerated growth, reproductive health, mood changes, and eating disorders.

At Pelican Family Medicine, our doctors and staff are dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of common adult medical problems. Our providers specialize in primary care, general health assessments and consultation for complex medical problems. There is an emphasis on caring for the whole patient.

Preventative care focuses on maintaining long-term health and preventing illnesses before they develop. This includes routine check-ups, vaccinations, screenings, and lifestyle counseling to detect and mitigate potential health risks early. By prioritizing prevention, individuals can reduce the likelihood of chronic diseases and enjoy a healthier life.

Disease treatment focuses on diagnosing and managing acute and chronic illnesses to improve patients’ quality of life. This service includes medical interventions, lifestyle modifications, and personalized care plans for conditions such as heart disease, respiratory illnesses, infections, and autoimmune disorders. Proper treatment helps prevent complications and promotes long-term health.

Women’s health services cater to the unique medical needs of women at every stage of life. This includes reproductive health, prenatal and postnatal care, hormone therapy, menopause management, and screenings for conditions like breast and cervical cancer. Comprehensive women’s health care ensures personalized support for overall well-being.

Obesity and weight loss counseling provides professional guidance to help individuals achieve and maintain a healthy weight. This includes personalized nutrition plans, exercise recommendations, behavioral counseling, and, when necessary, medical interventions. Sustainable weight loss strategies reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
