Tri-County Primary Care Reviews
My experience with my Doctor is great. He gives great advice and is open to listening to my concerns. Thank you
Great staff!!!
I love this small private practice! What a treat to walk in and see familiar faces who know me. When you need an appointment or a refill, it is dealt with promptly. You will not experience the frustration that is common to the large healthcare systems. If you like to build relationships with your healthcare providers, this is the practice for you.
He is so friendly and knowledgeable ! - Dr. Kilby , Mekesha and Sterling are all great providers to see ! They are well educated and take the time to listen to your needs . I highly recommend them and their sweet staff members !
The providers and staff members at this office do a great job at listening rather than rushing in and out of the room. They are all very knowledgeable and go the extra mile. I would highly recommend seeing them!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between internal medicine and family medicine?
While both internal medicine and family medicine focus on primary care, internal medicine providers specialize in the treatment of adults and often have advanced knowledge of managing complex or chronic health conditions. Family medicine, on the other hand, provides care for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors.
What should I do if I have a family history of chronic disease?
Discuss your family medical history with our providers during your visit. This information helps us assess your risk factors and recommend appropriate screenings, lifestyle modifications, or preventive treatments to address potential health concerns early.
How does internal medicine help with cardiovascular disease prevention?
Preventing cardiovascular disease is a key focus of internal medicine. We assess risk factors like high cholesterol, hypertension, and family history, providing personalized strategies to reduce risks, including dietary guidance, exercise plans, and medications when needed.
