Smith Family Practice Educates Patients and Beaumont Texas Community through Website

July 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Smith Family Practice (http://www.smithfamilypractice.com/health-education.html) offers practical health information on its Website that supports the needs of its patients and members of the Beaumont community.

Surveys have shown that U.S. adults frequently search online for health information, but are frustrated by the large volume of information they find from questionable sources. A majority of health consumers state that they would prefer to get that information directly from their own doctor. Unfortunately, a majority of physicians report finding it difficult to provide education during an office visit and most medical practice Websites lack health information.

Smith Family Practice, a primary care practice in Beaumont, Texas, understands the importance of patient education (www.vivacare.com) and has taken measure to improve clinical care and patient satisfaction. It now provides its patients with convenient, online access to educational resources on its own practice Website.

The family physicians and nurse practitioners of Smith Family Practice show their commitment to patient care by making health information available online regarding the medical conditions they treat (allergies, asthma, diabetes, hypertension), the procedures they perform, and medications they prescribe.

The medical professionals of Smith Family Practice join others who use the “From Your Doctor” service from Vivacare to manage their patient education content.

Smith Family Practice offers comprehensive primary healthcare services by emphasizing health maintenance and disease prevention. It treats common acute illnesses and injuries, as well as diagnose, manage and coordinate the care and rehabilitation of patients with chronic diseases.  

Family Practice providers have a broad general knowledge in the field of medicine and are trained to assume a unique role in patient management, problem solving and counseling.  The medical professionals of Smith Family Practice are prepared to oversee and coordinate all of your healthcare needs.

With a strong foundation in holistic care and solid belief in the mind-body-spirit connection, it focuses on caring for "the whole person" rather than treating specific disease states.  While Smith Family Practice strives to follow evidenced-based medicine practices for the treatment of conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and the like, treating the whole person often requires divergence from "main-stream medicine."  

Based on the growing demand for alternative healthcare services, Smith Family Practice has developed strong relationships with local Doctors of Chiropractic and Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as Compounding Pharmacists that specialize in bio-identical hormones.
