DocTalker Family Medicine is a primary care medical practice. This means that we treat all the typical day-to-day medical issues that come up, from the flu to tick bites, ear infections to poison ivy.  Think of us as the old-fashioned country doctors, treating everything and everyone, at anytime and anywhere. Except, think of that old-fashioned country doctor with modern  technology -- phones, internet, and email. No matter what, where, or when, we're here to help.

Although primary care problems are usually considered routine, they are the majority of people's typical healthcare needs. These issues never seem to occur during routine office hours (Monday through Friday, 9 to 5). You shouldn't have to wait to get help if you become sick or hurt during "off hours." That's why we're there for you, 24/7.

You know the drill: Your second grader announces on the Saturday morning of a long holiday weekend that she has pink eye. A call to a traditional practice would mean that you would have to wait until Tuesday morning when the offices are open. Plus, you'd need to miss an entire day of work until she has received the necessary treatment. If you are a DocTalker Family Medicine, however, all you'd need to do is call our medical team. Within 10 minutes, your prescription would be at the pharmacy of your choice. No waiting, no long waiting room visits, no hassle.

Or how about this one: You've just started your week-long vacation at the beach, and you feel the symptoms coming on of a sinus infection, which you're prone to. Since you're 5 hours from home, your options: to take a day your vacation to go to the Urgent Care Center, or just suffer through your vacation. If you are a DocTalker patient, you would simply give our medical team a call. Since we can treat over 50% of all medical issues by phone, the chances are good that we can solve your problem, find the closest local pharmacy to call in your prescription, and have you enjoying your vacation with minimal hassle.
