We offer personalized healthcare, tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Our approach blends modern medical expertise with accessible, empathetic care, fostering lasting doctor-patient partnerships.

Who We Serve

We serve the community; it’s as simple as that. We’re here for people who are tired of healthcare that feels impersonal, expensive, or confusing. Whether you’re looking for a long-term relationship with a physician, affordable imaging without surprise bills, or transparent pharmacy pricing, we offer a better way forward.

  • Individuals and families seeking a more personal, relationship-based approach to medical care
  • Patients without insurance who still want affordable, high-quality healthcare, imaging, and medications
  • Those with insurance and high deductibles, looking for upfront pricing and lower out-of-pocket costs
  • People who need imaging services like CT, X-ray, or ultrasound — fast, affordable, and without the red tape
  • Patients who value time with their physician and don’t want to be rushed or bounced between providers
  • Anyone who’s tired of long pharmacy lines and inflated drug prices — and wants access to wholesale pricing
  • Employers looking for a better healthcare solution for their team—one that improves outcomes and cuts costs
  • People who want healthcare that’s simple, transparent, and focused on what really matters: their well-being

Testimonials

What Our Patients are Saying
“Very attentive and I appreciated how they treated me as an adult at 19 even though I was with my mother.”
“The Dr. responded to my texts about my sudden pain even though it was late, she immediately scheduled an appointment for me the next day. She administered an exam and tests while I still had the pain. She even offered a shot to help with inflammation while we waited on the blood results coming the next day.”
— Neilanda R.
“We recommend Hitchcock Family Medicine to everyone we know!”
“Dr. H answers emails promptly. He has met us in the middle of the day to remove a Lego from my son's nose and after hours for stitches for my husband and my son on different occasions (avoiding ER waits and charges). We always have the office to ourselves, and we never feel rushed. Our concerns are always heard. We wouldn't want anyone else for our PCP.”
— Bekah
“During my time with Hitchcock Family Medicine, I have received nothing but excellent care!”
