Family Medicine Q & A
What is family medicine?
Family medicine is a specialized branch of medicine that considers the whole family. Dr. Olusanya sees men, women, children, and infants for any and every condition from acute illnesses to chronic diseases. At Charter Medical Center, you’ll find it’s your one-stop shop for everything you and your family need.
Family medicine physicians typically serve as your primary doctor and take care of you through all the ages and stages of your life. If you have a specific need that’s outside the scope of Dr. Olusanya’s care, he’ll coordinate your care with a preferred specialist and help guide you through the medical system.
Family medicine doctors are also extensively trained in a wide range of primary care medical services and treat the origin of your illness or disease rather than just the symptoms.

How often should I see my family medicine doctor?
In general, you should see your family medicine doctor at least once a year for your annual physical. During that appointment, Dr. Olusanya screens you for high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer, and other serious conditions. If a problem presents, he’ll help you manage it with lifestyle changes and possibly medications. He’s passionate about the doctor-patient relationship and writes a care plan that’s perfectly suited to your needs and goals.
If you get injured or suddenly sick, the front office staff help prioritize your appointment. Dr. Olusanya knows your health history and customizes your treatment accordingly.
Whether you fell and twisted your ankle, want to test for allergies, or need a partner to help you manage a chronic condition like diabetes, Dr. Olusanya and the team welcome you to Charter Medical Center. Call the office to schedule an appointment, or use the online scheduling feature.
