Services
Cardiology
Walton Family Medicine provides a wide range of cardiology services, including screening for heart disease risk factors, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and more. If you have heart-related needs or have been diagnosed with a heart problem, we will work with you to coordinate your overall medical care and ensure you are getting quality primary care with us. We have a strong working relationship with many cardiologists in the area, and we can refer you or work in conjunction with the care they offer to provide you with the best comprehensive care.
Geriatrics
We love that our patient population is diverse, and we are honored to be selected as health care providers for our older patients. Our physicians have a great deal of experience in providing care for elderly patients, and we understand the special needs and complex health concerns that many of these patients have. We work alongside family members, other medical specialists, and the patients themselves to provide high-quality care and to coordinate treatment among specialists.
Gynecology
Walton Family Medicine offers gynecological care for our female patients. From routine exams and PAP smears to treatment of common gynecological disorders, we love to partner with our patients to ensure they are getting all of the quality services and care that they need.
We offer pregnancy and contraceptive counseling, but we do not place or remove IUDs. We do not provide obstetrical care to expectant mothers, though we can provide non-obstetrical medical care to our patients that are pregnant. We can offer referrals to other obstetricians and gynecologists in the area should you need prenatal care or other specialized gynecological services.
Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is the vast majority of what we do at Walton Family Medicine. Our physicians can provide wellness exams, address minor concerns, and treat common disorders. We can evaluate and treat a variety of medical illnesses, and we consistently address problems with hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and so much more.
If you need specialty care of any kind, we have excellent working relationships with many of the best specialists in the region. If you’re not sure what kind of specialist you need to see, our doctors are happy to discuss your options with you and explore the ideal specialist for your specific needs.
Pediatrics
Why make an extra stop at a pediatrician’s office when you can get care for your entire family in one place?
Walton Family Medicine offers the highest quality care for the youngest members of our community with our pediatric care services. This includes well-child exams and physicals for children, typically on a yearly basis. In most cases and depending on your insurance plan, we can provide your child with the recommended childhood immunizations.
We also offer pediatric care for acute and chronic pediatric illnesses and injuries. We can treat most minor illnesses and injuries in children.
Minor Office Surgery
Our physicians perform a broad range of minor office procedures, including removal of many warts and skin cancers, biopsy of suspicious skin lesions, incision and drainage of abscesses, and suturing of lacerations (stitches).
We also perform joint injections and aspirations, such as the removal of fluid from the knee and corticosteroid injections of inflamed joints.
We can also remove foreign objects such as splinters, fish hooks, BBs, pellets and more.
If you need one of these minor office procedures performed, it’s best if you plan ahead and call our office before coming in. Some of these procedures can take time, so the more advance notice we have of your needs, the better we can serve you.
Urgent Care
Although Walton Family Medicine is not a typical urgent care clinic, we have the experience and facilities to treat many minor emergencies and acute illnesses. Although we don’t offer standard walk-in urgent care services, we can provide for many of your healthcare needs during a pre-scheduled appointment.
We are able to treat strains, sprains, nosebleeds, allergic reactions, lacerations, open wounds, and more. We are available six days a week to care for you and your unexpected medical concerns.
If you need X-rays or lab work, orders would be given.
If your condition exceeds the abilities of our facility, there are several nearby emergency rooms, and we will never hesitate to send you there if needed.
Preventative Medicine
At Walton Family Medicine, your health is our priority. We believe that health maintenance is just as important as treating illnesses, if not more so.
We provide extensive health maintenance exams for our patients, focusing on the most recent recommendations for health screenings based on age, current state of health, and your personal health-related goals.
We can order lab work, if necessary, which can be completed at the laboratory clinic next door to our office.
We offer a number of health screening exams for both men and women, including prostate cancer screenings, breast cancer screenings, and more. We can also provide guidance on preventing and managing hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, and more. We can refer you to other specialists should you need a colonoscopy, cardiac stress test, EKG, and other preventative medicine tests.
