patient with family medicine doctor in orlando

UCF Health’s board-certified family medicine providers (also referred to as “general practitioners”) serve as your front-line defense against illnesses and chronic diseases. In our Orlando family physician practice, we treat patients ages 16 and older.

While it’s easy to think of family practice providers as who you see for routine checkups, immunizations, and periodic illnesses, these physicians also have extensive training in the treatment and management of chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis. When a disease specialist is needed, your provider can make the appropriate referrals, while remaining in the loop to serve as the leader of your healthcare team.

Family medicine providers also place a major emphasis on disease prevention. Whether it’s a necessary screening test based on age and gender, or a behavior modification warranted by lifestyle factors, like diet and environmental exposure, your family medicine doctor can help you make the best choices for your ongoing health while also providing primary care services.

At UCF Health Orlando, our primary care doctors are well-known for their genuine, caring approach toward family medicine. We are committed to treating you and your family with compassion, respect and undivided attention.

Our patients’ health and well-being are our top priorities, and we aim to help families achieve their greatest quality of life for years to come. We are honored to be the choice provider in family medicine for our communities in Lake Nona and East Orlando, Florida.

Family Physicians Services We Offer in Orlando


At UCF Health, we offer comprehensive family physicians with personalized care for all ages. From preventive checkups to chronic disease management, our Orlando family physicians are here to support your health.

Routine Checkups

We perform routine checkups and physical examinations for our patients. Being established with a primary care doctor is deeply important for maintaining optimal health. These visits assess the wellbeing of patients and ensure that they do not have any underlying conditions or imminent health risks. 

Many young patients visit us to receive exams and documentation, enabling them to participate in activities such as sports and school events that require an Orlando-based physical assessment.

Immunizations

Patients of all ages require immunizations and vaccinations to ensure their lifelong health. Though some immunizations are only required every decade or so in a patient’s life, other immunizations (such as the flu shot) are necessary each year. Our Orlando primary care physicians offer various preventative vaccinations for families in and around our community.

Urgent Care 

Our Orlando family physicians are here for your urgent primary care needs, including colds, sicknesses, and minor injuries. We diagnose and treat infections that cause colds, sore throats, coughs, and viruses like the flu. We also treat minor injuries, such as muscle sprains, joint strains, bruises, cuts, and bites from insects or animals. 

Whether you require preventative care, treatment, or management/monitoring of a condition, our Orlando family physicians are highly-experienced and thoroughly equipped to provide you and your family with solutions.

Management of Chronic Medical Conditions

We perform tests to diagnose and monitor chronic medical conditions, including diabetes and prediabetes, hypertension, and arthritis.

Through various blood tests, x-rays, and measurements, we can assess blood sugar levels, blood pressure levels, and identify the presence of swollen joints and joint stiffness.

If you have a chronic medical condition, we are here to educate you in managing and controlling your condition to help you experience your greatest quality of life. Our family physicians will work with you to create a health plan that aims to mitigate risk factors and improve dietary habits and lifestyle choices. It’s our goal to provide you with the necessary care that has a lifelong, positive impact on you or your child’s life here in the Orlando, Central Florida area.
