When someone clutches their stomach or their head and moans, it is universally
understood that he/she is in pain. But if they speak a language other than English, for example, Arabic, Kiswahili, Farsi or Spanish that could be where the understanding ends and frustration takes over. Fortunately for Decatur’s multi-national community, there is a local
general practice whose physicians are
board-certified and multilingual.

The physicians combined speak 12 languages. “We strive to be a very inclusive practice, and make it our mission to provide timely, comprehensive quality care to as many patients as possible in a friendly environment. The practice is equipped with an onsite lab and x-ray technology as well as state-of-the-art equipment
to diagnose and manage osteoporosis “Our specialties include osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol disorders, arthritis and cancer screening

We guarantee same-day appointments, and accept all insurance plans. We really do want to insure that patients age 11 and older have immediate access to the care they need and we encourage health maintenance through regular check ups and annual physicals.”

First Medical Care is located 1.5 miles from Downtown Decatur at 2536 Lawrenceville Highway. Their hours are Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays starting this fall. To make an appointment, call 770.934.6832. Same-day appointments are guaranteed and free parking is available.
