Services

General Medical Physicals
The providers do full, thorough physical exams that are tailored to a patient's age, medical issues, family history and health concerns. We also provide routine gynecological care as needed by our patients. Physical exams can include urine testing, lab work, EKG testing, etc.

Adolescent Care
All of our providers enjoy this age group and are comfortable treating adolescents. Dr. McLean has special adolescent training and greatly enjoys this age group. We try to create a non-threatening atmosphere for young women who are going through many physical and emotional changes. We tailor their care to their individual needs and try to build a working relationship with them so they are comfortable coming to us with their medical concerns.

Sick/Well visits
We provide well visits in the form of physicals and other routine follow-up care but are always available to provide care when you are ill. We do our best to accommodate patient needs and try to get patients scheduled quickly who are ill. We make every effort to have ill patients seen within two days of your call depending on the nature of the illness.

Nutritional Services
Our in-house dietician, Rosemary Gentile, teaches awareness of current eating habits and applies the latest nutrition recommendations while collaborating with you to develop a personalized nutritious, flexible, and balanced food plan. Rosemary can also provide recipes and shopping hints when desired. Other key components of nutrition care include exploration of physical activity and emotional or lifestyle barriers and supports that can affect your optimal health.

Women's Health Guides
As women transition through puberty, child-bearing years, menopause and post-menopause, their bodies undergo significant changes.
