Just Call Your Family Doctor… R
emember how your Grandmother used to talk about her “Family Doctor?” How if she
were ever sick, or had any medical prob- lems, she would always go to her “Family Doctor,” since that is who knew her and her medical history the best. Then, if there was a need to go to a specialist, her “Family Doc- tor” would schedule that appointment, receive the re- sults of the visit with the specialist, and coordinate her care.
This is the kind of doctor that knows you and your history, and can oversee all of your medical care… and that is exactly the kind of doctor you will have at Appalachian Regional Adult and Family Medicine in Boone. Lada, McCracken, and Kimbro provide family medicine and not only can they follow and treat you, but they will also be glad to follow and treat your children that are ages 4 years and older. Being a patient of a physi- cian who treats children and adults is a great option as there is no need for children to have to establish with a new doctor once they “age out” with their pediatrician.
