When someone clutches their stomach or their head and moans, it is universally understood that they are 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.
In addition to speaking 12 languages, our physicians here at First Medical Care provide quality health care in a professional and compassionate manner by embracing the values of integrity, honesty, and total quality service. We strive to be a very inclusive practice and make it our mission to provide timely, comprehensive care to as many patients as possible in a friendly environment. We work hard to improve the quality of life for our patients , staff and their respective families. Being on the cutting edge of the ever-changing health care industry, our practice is equipped with new, onsite lab equipment to analyze blood samples, recently updated, digital x-ray technology, and new, state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and manage osteoporosis. In addition, we have EKG machines and a pulmonary function testing machine to analyze heart and lung function.
