Stressing the importance of preventative healthcare and wellness exams

Phoenix Family Medical Clinic, one of the Valley of the Sun's most accessible and affordable family clinics, reminds you of the importance of preventative healthcare for you and your family. Seeing a physician on a regular basis for wellness check-ups is the very best way to stay on top of your health, and the experienced medical doctors and staff members at their two Valley walk-in clinics are available to serve you. Phoenix Family Medical Clinic offers walk-in and same day appointments, and works with the uninsured to allow them access to the healthcare procedures they need.

From Well Women Exams to standard check-ups for men and children, Phoenix Family Medical Clinic gives its patients the peace of mind of knowing where they stand in terms of their health on a regular basis. With clinics in Central Phoenix and in the East Valley in Ahwatukee, same-day accessibility and a host of healthcare services are available including:

• Saturday and evening appointments
• AHCCCS plans accepted vaccines/vaccinations
• Children's health/children's doctors/pediatrician for children's exams

Routine trips to a doctor's office or to urgent care usually entail long wait times that extend well-past your appointment times, not to mention high co-pays. Phoenix Family Medical Clinic prefers an atmosphere in which your time is as valuable as theirs, and the healthcare services you need are as affordable as they can be. Both locations accept AHCCCS plans such as APIPA, Phoenix Health Plan, Health Choice, Mercy Care and Care 1st as well as private insurance plans including United Healthcare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Beech Street and Medicare.

Don't wait until a medical issue arises before visiting the experienced and compassionate staff of Phoenix Family Medical Clinic. Adhering to the practice of scheduling regular wellness exams and check-ups is a great way for the entire family to stay healthy and fit and to learn about potential issues and correct them before they become full blown issues.

Or simply stop by at your convenience and you'll be worked into the day's schedule in a timely fashion. Whichever way you choose, always make the time for preventative care, because as the saying goes an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
