Vonnegut’s book took me on an entertaining and insightful journey, ranging from very short and hilarious tales of his interactions with his pediatric patients and their parents, to longer chapters where he laments both the disappearance of private practice primary care offices and the loss of physician control in the healthcare system.

I recently organized several CPR classes for Noreta Family Medicine patients as well as their family and friends.

What is the meaning of Family Medicine? As the name suggests, a family physician can take care of your entire family – from the day of your birth (even before!) I love family medicine because as family physicians, we can be trained to provide care for patients in many different settings.
