Primary and Family Care

What is family care?

Family care provides comprehensive medical treatment to all people, regardless of age or gender.

The Collin Medical and Wellness Group team serves individuals and families living throughout Collin County and welcomes new patients.

What services does family care provide?

The Collin Medical and Wellness Group team offers various family care services, including:

Immunizations

Immunizations are essential to healthy living. They train your immune system to defend against viruses, bacteria, and other harmful invaders.

After reviewing your medical records and completing a physical exam, your provider can develop a personalized immunization schedule. 

Lab testing

Lab testing analyzes samples of blood, urine, saliva, or other bodily fluids to gain insights into your health. The team offers several types of lab testing, including bloodwork and urinalysis. Patients can also undergo testing for the seasonal flu, tetanus, and COVID-19.

Physical exams

Physical exams assess your general health and well-being. It’s crucial to undergo physicals annually, even if you feel healthy. 

Certain conditions, including high blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes, don’t always present obvious symptoms. Routine checkups can alert you early on and prevent them from worsening.

Dermatology

Dermatology is a branch of family care focused on diagnosing and treating skin, hair, and nail problems. The Collin Medical and Wellness Group team treats various skin problems, including acne, psoriasis, and skin tags.

Preventive medicine

Preventive medicine uses lab tests, sex-specific screenings, and diagnostic imaging to identify health problems in their early stages. The team offers preventive medicine for people of all ages and gender identities, including Pap smears, prostate exams, immunizations, and more.

Lifestyle counseling

You can reduce your risk of acute and chronic health problems by living a healthy lifestyle. The Collin Medical and Wellness Group team regularly works with patients to help them achieve their wellness goals. 

Depending on your needs, the team might recommend nutritional guidance, medically supervised weight loss, or body mass index (BMI) analysis.
