Welcome to Family Practice at Crystal Run. At Crystal Run, our primary care doctors consist of Pediatricians, who treat children under 18, Internists (who treat adults age 18 and up) and Family Medicine doctors who see patients of all ages. A primary care physician, or PCP, is a medical doctor who provides both the first contact for a patient with an undiagnosed health concern as well as continuing care of varied medical conditions, not limited by cause, organ system, or diagnosis. In other words, primary care doctors take care of the physical, mental and emotional health of both their patients and their patients' families, and are trained to care for you through all the stages of your life.

At Crystal Run Healthcare, your primary care physician is responsible for managing and coordinating all your healthcare needs. Your PCP will help you with prevention and wellness strategies, and will coordinate all appropriate health screening tests, such as mammograms, pap smears, immunizations, colonoscopies, and lab work. Your PCP will also coordinate any care you may need from our renowned staff of Crystal Run specialists, including surgeons, obstetricians, and other physicians to help solve complicated problems in diagnosis and treatment and coordinate patient care where needed, whether it be in the office, hospital, intensive care unit, or nursing home. Plus, our sophisticated electronic health records system digitally links your primary care physician with any specialist in our practice. They can see and share your information instantly, and work together to bring you more responsive, immediate care.
