Medical Services at UHS

 

All doctors at UHS have completed specialty residency training. The majority are in Family Medicine but we also have a dermatologist, pediatricians and internists. All Physicians at UHS function as primary care providers. They are capable of handling every member of the family and the most common problems in ambulatory care. Should the patient need any particular specialty care, our doctors will promptly refer him/her as needed. UHS doctors also offer minor surgical procedures including minor skin operations as well as prenatal care and routine gynecology.

The range of services includes:

  • Comprehensive care for the entire family
  • Emphasis on disease prevention and health promotion
  • Child, adolescent and adult medicine
  • Routine well-baby and well-child care
  • Geriatric care Health care for women including screening for abnormal Pap smears
  • Minor surgery and procedures in the office

By a special arrangement with HIP, direct access to obstetrical and eye care is offered to our clients. After due evaluation by a nurse, patients may be immediately transferred to Eye or Obstetric care upon their own request. The nurse may give any person who requests and indeed requires an eye check, one consultation slip once per year. She may also do the same for Gynecology check up. If the patient needs further evaluation by such specialties, the patient has to see our UHS doctor and be certified for the need for such consultation.

All the consultants are expected to send reports of their consultations back to UHS primary care doctors.
