FAMILY MEDICINE
Continuing in a tradition established more than 50 years ago, we strive to heal the whole family with care and compassion, from the infant to the elderly.
FAMILY MEDICINE SERVICES
Dallas Family Medicine's services are extensive and specialized across the lifespan:
Pediatrics is a key part of our practice and a staff favorite, from newborn care, circumcision, and infant immunizations to early childhood wellness exams and the unique needs of adolescents. We also maintain same-day urgent care appointments to be available when you need us for yourself or your sick child.
Adult medicine features wellness exams for men and women which includes utilization of our complete laboratory, EKG testing, and x-ray and in partnership with the local hospital, colonoscopy. Between wellness exams we are your healthcare home for managing chronic diseases, helping to minimize risk factors with training on lifestyle modifications, and maintaining prescriptions.

When Dallas Family Medicine began over 50 years ago, urgent care was a significant need and became a priority for DFM – we have maintained that standard today offering same-day urgent care appointments to patients for urgent health care needs, including laceration repair, x-rays with splinting or casting, and arranging for surgical or emergency room evaluation if necessary.

The relationship between the family medicine provider and their patients is unique within the field of medicine. Often, a provider cares for many generations of the same family and sees patients through many life-stages. As a result, the emphasis of care is never just on the cough or cold that brings you in that day, but rather, on the big picture of keeping you well, which includes trying to prevent disease, monitoring chronic illness, and arranging appointments with specialists to manage specific conditions.
This philosophy is key to Dallas Family Medicine and the reason we strive to be the first place you turn for your health-care needs.
Healthy bones are an important part of overall health, not just for the elderly, but across the age spectrum. Most bone mass is accumulated during adolescence and peak bone mass is reached before age thirty. Aging, medications, hormone changes, diet, physical activity and other environmental factors, can all lead to loss of bones mass, a condition known as osteoporosis. In fact, more than half of all Americans over 50 have osteoporosis. Treatments are available and can significantly improve bone density.
DFM has been offering DEXA scans (a specialized x-ray for measuring bone density), since 1999. Our family medicine team, including a certified bone densitometrist, can assist you in determining if you need a DEXA, interpreting DEXA results, and developing a personalized treatment plan to keep your bones strong for life.
It became clear early on to doctors Charles and Casey, the founders of DFM, that to adequately address the variety of needs in family medicine, timely access to reliable diagnostics was imperative.
DFM has maintained a fully accredited laboratory for decades, along with X-Ray capabilities, including the specialized X-Ray to evaluate bone density, known as DEXA. We also offer many point-of-care tests including EKG, oximetry, protime, and spirometry. Finally, our proximity with West Valley Hospital and relationship with many outside diagnostic facilities ensures that we can obtain the test you need, when you need it.
