What is family medicine?

Family medicine providers care for people of all ages, so you and your family members don’t have to see multiple different doctors to get the care you deserve. At her Glendale office, Dr. Grigoryan welcomes all patients ages four and older. That means you and your children can see the same physician as they age.

What is included in family medicine?

Preventive care is the cornerstone of optimal health. To keep you healthy as you age, Dr. Grigoryan may recommend:

Annual physicals

A physical is an assessment to evaluate your overall health. Dr. Grigoryan recommends visiting her office at least once a year for a physical exam, so she can track your health throughout your life. Physical exams help Dr. Grigoryan identify early signs of disease to prevent health complications.

Phlebotomy

Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood. By testing your blood, Dr. Grigoryan can evaluate your health, monitor existing health conditions, or investigate new symptoms.

Medication management

Monitoring your medications allows Dr. Grigoryan to determine the best treatment for your condition.

Weight loss

Maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease.

What types of conditions do family medicine providers treat?

While preventive care is the foundation of family medicine, managing chronic diseases is just as important. Chronic disease management can help minimize your symptoms and prevent complications from the following conditions.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic disease that results from high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Normally, a hormone called insulin allows your body to use sugar for energy. If you have diabetes, you either don’t have insulin or your body doesn’t use it efficiently.

Without proper insulin levels, glucose builds in your blood. Not only can that damage your blood vessels, it can lead to serious complications, including peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage), vision loss, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

High cholesterol

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance in your arteries. While high-density lipoprotein (HDL) carries excess cholesterol back to the liver, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) can clog the arteries. Poor diet, smoking, and inactivity can all lead to high levels of LDL.

Hypertension

Uncontrolled hypertension, or high blood pressure, can cause cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney problems.

Allergies

Whether you have a food, drug, pet, or pollen allergy, Dr. Grigoryan provides comprehensive testing and treatment.

Insomnia

Insomnia is an inability to fall asleep or stay asleep throughout the night. At her office, Dr. Grigoryan can create an individualized treatment plan for you to relieve the symptoms of insomnia.
