We work together in a compassionate and professional manner to
serve our patients with excellent care. Our family physicians provide
medical care to the entire family from obstetrics, newborns and
pediatrics to adult and geriatric medicine. No matter what stage
of life you and your family are in, our physicians are here to
meet your changing needs.
Additionally, we offer Aesthetic Services provided by Jacque Wakefield,
certified aesthetician. Services include state of the art laser
treatments and aesthetic skin services that can help patients with
a variety of cosmetic and medical skin issues.
Westshore Family Medicine features Sick Kid Express for working parents.
When a child (a current patient within the practice) wakes up feeling
under the weather, parents may bring the child in to see a physician
or PA without an appointment. Sick Kid Express is open weekdays from
7:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.
