Family medicine doctors, also known as family physicians, are primary care physicians who specialize in providing comprehensive medical care to patients of all ages, genders, and health conditions. They are trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of acute and chronic illnesses, manage preventive care, and coordinate care with specialists when needed. Family medicine doctors focus on building long-term relationships with their patients, emphasizing preventive care and health education to promote overall well-being. They are often the first point of contact for patients seeking medical care and play a crucial role in providing continuous and holistic healthcare services to individuals and families.

Think of a Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership like a gym membership for your health. You pay a flat monthly fee and you receive member benefits such as unlimited clinic visits, unlimited telemedicine visits, greater time spent with your physician, access to your physician after regular business hours, a significant cost savings, and much more!

Yes, Dr. Vanderloo does accept Medicare. Please call our office first to see if we are currently accepting new patients.

We do our very best to offer appointments as soon as possible, which often include same-day or next-day appointments. And, great news, we have no wait-time when you arrive because we schedule one patient at at time!

A telemedicine/telehealth visit utilizes technology, such as texting, video conferencing, and healthcare questionnaires, to provide care for minor illnesses when a patient cannot make it in to the office in person. Examples of minor illnesses may include a cold or a sore throat. To schedule this type of appointment, please click on the “Get in Touch” button on your screen.

If a patient needs to be admitted to the hospital, Dr. Vanderloo will follow up with your care once you are discharged from the hospital. Patients may request to have their medical records sent to Dr. Vanderloo which helps to faciliate the coordination of care.

Your first appointment gives you the chance to get to know Dr. Vanderloo. You may provide your medical health history and any health concerns you are wishing to discuss. You will be able to complete new patient paperwork electronically prior to your visit. On the day of your appointment, you will need to bring: photo ID, insurance card (if applicable), list of your current medications, and list of any questions you may have. Patients may wish to have their prior medical records sent via fax to Dr. Vanderloo beforehand.
