Family Practice


Family Practice providers work with patients of every age group. They care for the overall general health of their patients except in circumstances when a patient may require treatment from a specialist. Family Practice providers provide annual examinations and physicals for all ages, well-child exams, as well as treat the conditions of infections and viruses, the challenges of aging, and provide minor procedures such as mole and wart removals and things of that nature. Pine Medical Group's Family Practice providers are all Board Certified and it is their extreme honor to serve the healthcare needs of the people of Newaygo County. Family Practice providers staff both the Fremont and Newaygo offices.
