Mission
Statement
We are a team of
Christian family physicians dedicated to serving you, our patients, by
providing quality, compassionate family health care.
Accepting New Patients
We occasionally hear from patients
that believe Family Medical Group is closed to new patients.
All of the providers at Family Medical Group are open to new
patients, both pediatric and adults. We accept most
insurances. Please contact the office at (209) 668-4101 to
schedule your appointment.
After-Hours Office Visits
Available
The doctors at Family Medical Group
now see patients during evening hours on selected days throughout
each month. Visits start at 5:10 pm and go through 7:30
pm. Patients are seen on the Same Day Care side during this
time. You may request an evening appointment with your doctor
by calling our office or requesting an appointment
online.
Pertussis (whooping cough)
Update
California is in the midst of a
pertussis epidemic with over 1500 cases reported in the state to
date. Infants are immunized for pertussis at 2/4/6 month
visits but older children and adults may not have immunity as the
effects of vaccination wear off. Older children and adults may
receive Adacel (tetanus/pertussis) booster shot to help protect them
from whooping cough. Contact our office if you are not certain
whether you've been vaccinated recently. Tetanus vaccination
alone does not protect against pertussis.
School/Sports Physicals
All of the providers at Family
Medical Group perform school and sports physicals, including filling
out paperwork for schools and updating immunizations as
needed. Please check with your insurance company to see if
sports physicals are covered under your plan as these sometimes need
to be billed as a "well child" visit in order to be
paid.
Save Time Checking In
You can print and fill out your registration form
before coming to our office to save time checking in. We have
recently upgraded to an electronic health record system which
requires us to update each patient's personal and insurance
information. Go to Registration
Forms to access the needed paperwork.
Communicate
With Our Practice Online
Over 2,300 patients at Family
Medical Group use our online services to communicate with Family
Medical Group providers and staff. It's a great way to avoid the hassles of
"phone tag," allowing you to leave a message at any time.
Free online services include: scheduling
routine appointments, requesting lab/x-ray results, answering
questions regarding billing issues and leaving updates on your
condition with your provider. Physician consultations for some
health issues are available (fee may apply for this service).
Online services are meant for
non-urgent needs and requests. We strive to respond within 24
hours of your request. For same day needs, please contact the
office by phone at (209) 668-4101.
To access these services, you must be
an established patient at Family Medical Group and you must register
online. Click here

Please contact our office if you have any
questions about this service.
