Primary Care Network

Lakeshore Family Medicine

Health Library

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.

Lakeshore 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.
