Family First Family Medical Clinic offers Family Medicine in the Antelope Valley and Allergy Care

What is Family Medicine?

Family Medicine is commonly called "The Center of Primary Care".  Family First Family Medical Practices offers a service unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease.  Our family physicians are the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments and provide comprehensive health care for people of all ages — from newborns to seniors.

Family First Family Medical Practice benefits:

• Caring for patients regardless of age or health condition, sustaining an enduring and trusting relationship
• Understanding community-level factors and social determinants of health
• Serving as a patient's first contact for health concerns
• Navigating the health care system with patients, including specialist and hospital care coordination and follow-up
• Using data and technology to coordinate services and enhance care
• Considering the impact of health on a patient’s family

We are in the habit of diagnosing and treating illness,  also provide preventive care, including routine checkups, health-risk assessments, immunization and screening tests, and personalized counseling on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Our providers manage chronic illness, often coordinating care provided by other subspecialists. From heart disease, stroke and hypertension, to diabetes, cancer, and asthma, family physicians provide ongoing, personal care for the nation’s most serious health problems.

Does Family First Family Medical Practice provide Pediatrics?

Yes our medical providers both Physicians and midlevel providers both are fully equipped to care for and treat patients, we specialize in children and have more in-depth knowledge about the growth, development, and behavior of small kids. On the other hand, family doctors are equipped to care for a patient throughout their entire adult life.  At Family First Family Medical Practice, we can care for the entire family under one roof. 

Our providers practice a full spectrum family practice.  We see patients of all ages, including women’s health, adolescents, adult primary care, and geriatrics. 

Benefits of seeing providers at Family First Family Medical Practice.

• Treat patients of all ages, which may mean fewer trips to the doctor’s office for your family. 
• In-depth knowledge of your family’s medical history.
• If multiple family members see the same doctor, that doctor may have a better understanding of your family’s medical history and can identify patterns that may affect your child’s health. 
• A longer lasting patient-doctor relationship.
• Your child’s relationship with their pediatrician ends abruptly when they turn 18 (or 21, depending on the doctor). If your child sees a family doctor, they can continue to see that same doctor for as long as they would like.

What allergy care does Family first Family Medical Practice offer?

We introduced Sublingual Immunotherapy last year and has seen tremendous results.  Unlike injection immunotherapy, which is given as shots, sublingual immunotherapy is given as drops under the tongue.  Sublingual Immunotherapy is a different approach with allergic disease as it targets with treatment the root cause, not just the symptoms.  Once tolerance is built, it can be permanent for many patients and remove the need for monthly shots. It is very safe, for both adults and children. Patients take the drops in the convenience of their own homes instead of going to a doctor’s office every week for shots. The World Health Organization (WHO) has endorsed sublingual immunotherapy as a viable alternative to injection immunotherapy. No more monthly shots also reduces risk for anaphylactic shock from monthly shots.
