Family Care
About Family Care
Each of our providers has been specially trained and board certified, where applicable, to provide comprehensive family medicine. Family medicine includes ongoing education and training in internal medicine, pediatrics, adult care, obstetrics, gynecology, surgery, and psychiatry. We believe that a close relationship with a family provider is important in maintaining your family’s health.
Associates in Family Medicine believes strongly that good health begins with good preventive care — that it’s better to prevent illness and injury whenever possible, rather than focusing on curing them or treating their symptoms. We recommend the following preventive care for families.

- Well child exams at age 2 mos., 4 mos., 6 mos., 9 mos., 12 mos., 15 mos., 18 mos., and 2 years

As part of our comprehensive pediatric care, all AFM locations provide care for adolescents. We recommend well child visits from birth to age 18. During the adolescent years, we take every opportunity to interact with patients to address appropriate lifestyle choices, review and update immunizations, and discuss safety issues such as proper use of seat belts and bike helmets. Athletic physicals are required by local school districts for middle and high school students, and this is a great opportunity to review these crucial wellness areas.
To keep active adults healthy, AFM offers gender-specific care for men and women. Men’s care includes preventive visits (determining your body mass index, blood pressure, cholesterol monitoring, etc.) as well as prostate exams and vasectomies.
We also offer complete women’s care, including obstetrics and gynecology, at all locations. Additional services such as in-house digital mammography and osteoporosis testing are available at the Horsetooth Office and can be scheduled by calling (970) 204-0300. If you prefer a female provider, we offer at least one provider at each location.
