The team at Babcock Health and Wellness Clinic also gets to know your whole family’s history, so they know if you’re at risk of developing certain genetic conditions.
A primary care provider offers care and treatment throughout all stages of your life. They can also arrange referrals to a specialist if you have a unique medical condition.
