We care about your costs, spend more time with you than most other practices, and make sure you understand what happens at your visit. We do our best to inform you about cheaper medication alternatives and let you choose your course of action for your medical care. In addition, we try to address multiple issues at each visit. Unless we are working you into the schedule, we won't just address your cold symptoms or hypertension but will talk to you about your foot pain or snoring problem as well. Then, because we often talk about several things in a visit we summarize what needs to be done on a personalized handout for you that you can review after you leave the office. Each patient gets information with what the blood pressure readings should be, for our pediatric patients what things to expect as they grow, when to go for labs, what medications you should be taking, when to follow up and other tips such as diet and exercise recommendations.
We pride ourselves in giving you lots of ways to contact us! You can now schedule your appointment online anytime or call us on the phone. Email is another means to keep in touch with our office as well. We can send your labs and other information to your email account if desired. For emergency questions or situations, Doctor Lewan is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week and in rare cases he is not, Erika Banka, PA-C should be available. Either way, you would know who you were talking to and they would be more familiar with your problems.

Why Primary Care?
Recent studies continue to support the importance of regular follow up with a primary care doctor to provide the highest quality of care. Choosing to just see a dermatologist for a skin issue and then the GI doctor for diarrhea without ever seeing the primary care provider often ends up providing an overall lower quality of care. Having a primary care provider to coordinate your care and be the first stop for most issues has been proven to be a better model of care. A 2008 World Health Organization study on primary healthcare supports this showing that countries that "invest in comprehensive primary care systems have better health outcomes, patient satisfaction and uptake of preventive services, and lower mortality."1 When was the last time you saw your primary care provider to keep up on regular physicals and make sure your provider was up to date on all of your medical issues?
Our Scope of Practice
We treat patients from newborns to adults (from pediatrics to geriatrics). Our Family Practice enjoys caring for acute problems such as ankle sprains, colds, skin lesion removals, moles and warts as well as chronic problems like depression, diabetes, high cholesterol, thryroid problems, heart conditions, emphysema, asthma and hypertension. We also offer physicals (including DOT physicals) for all ages including alike and review important preventive care such as skin cancer screenings, and well woman exams. This is far from a complete list see the "Services that Northside Family Medicine provides" tab for more information.
