All of our doctors are board certified and held to the most rigorous credentialing and medical quality review standards set by NCQA. National Committee for Quality Assurance.
We believe the best medical results in health care management are achieved and maintained by use of a Primary Care Physician [PCP].
Many health Plans require central case management by a PCP. We subscribe to this philosophy and believe it results in better care for your family. For more information on Family Physicians, please go to the AAFP web site or AOA, American Osteopathic Association, web site. www.osteopathic.org
Please select a Primary Care Physician, if you have not already done so by calling your health plan. If you need assistance in selecting a Primary Care Physician, our member services department at 619-660-6212 is available to answer any questions you may have regarding information concerning physicians’ credentials and other services provided by Encompass Family Physicians Medical Group.
A number of our doctors are D.O.s if you're like most people, you've been going to a doctor since you were born and perhaps didn't know if you were seeing a D.O. (osteopathic physician) or an M.D. (allopathic physician). You may not even be aware that there are two types of complete physicians in the United States.
The fact is that both D.O.s and M.D.s are fully qualified physicians licensed to provide all medical care, perform surgery, and prescribe medication. Is there any difference between these two kinds of doctors? Yes, and No...
D.O.s bring something extra to medicine
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is incorporated in the training and practice of osteopathic physicians. With OMT, osteopathic physicians use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and to encourage your body’s natural tendency toward good health. By combining all available medical procedures with OMT, D.O.s offer their patients the most comprehensive care available in medicine today.
All of our D.O.s are Board Certified in Family and or General Practice by the American Osteopathic Association. Visit their web site to learn more at www.osteopathic.org or at www.aafp.org
Physician assistants (PA.s) are highly skilled health practitioners who work with physicians to provide needed patient care services. The quality and value of the services they provide is well recognized and they are highly sought after by physician and institutional employers in virtually all medical and surgical specialties and settings.
