Rebecca Seekamp, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
Bio
I am a physician who strives to provide family centered care that looks at the whole patient. I agree with this statement from the American Academy of Family Physicians: In the increasingly fragmented world of health care, one thing remains constant: family physicians are dedicated to treating the whole person. Family medicine's cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focusing on integrated care. Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family medicine integrates care for patients of both genders and every age, and advocates for the patient in a complex health care system. Things to know about me: I am pro-vaccine, I love taking care of your whole family (babies too!) and I am LGBTQQI friendly. I welcome you and your family to my practice!
