How do I choose a family healthcare provider?
Some of the most important factors to take into consideration when choosing a healthcare provider for your family are their credentials, experience, and personality.
Credentials
When choosing a nurse practitioner or doctor to take care of your family, make sure they have the proper qualifications. Dr. Weaver and Janice both have the necessary medical degrees and board certifications to practice family medicine.
Experience
Your healthcare provider should also have adequate experience as a family practitioner. One of the best qualities Janice brings to the practice is her extensive background in family practice. She has 17 years of experience as a nurse and five years of experience as a family medicine provider.
Personality
It’s essential that your family healthcare provider has a caring personality that “clicks” with your family. If empathy and communication skills are valuable to you, you can trust the providers at Weaver Wellness Care to share them with you.
What are the benefits of family health care?
Having the same practitioner take care of all members of your family provides many convenient benefits. For one, your family’s medical records are all in one place, so you always have access when you need it.
Second, a family health care provider can provide back-to-back appointments for all members of your family in one place. This convenient scheduling saves you multiple trips to different locations.
Third, each trip to your family practitioner builds familiarity and patient-doctor relationships with your family members. Your provider also gets firsthand experience with your family dynamic, and they can get the whole family involved in healthy habits.
As your primary point of contact, family health practitioner Janice Speer or Dr. Weaver helps coordinate your family’s care at Weaver Wellness Care. If you’d like to meet with Janice or Dr. Weaver to find out if they’d be a good fit for your family, schedule a consultation online or over the phone.
