Effective medical treatment of chronic disease requires a very delicate balance between evidence-based medicine (what we know benefits patients) and the application of emerging clinical science (the latest and greatest advances in medicine). The doctors at Kell West Family Practice Clinic are focused on this approach to your medical care.
If you have one of these ailments then it is very important for you to receive regular medical care (every 6 months) as part of a comprehensive approach to minimize the life- time effects of the condition. Another important predictor of long-term survival is the adherence to up-to-date, evidence-based treatment guidelines for the management of your particular diagnosis. Our doctors have received recognition by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas and by the National Committee on Quality Assurance for our ability to deliver the standard of care.
A third predictor of positive long-term results from a doctor involves the use of an electronic health record. We were we one of the first clinics in the area to use such technology. Furthermore, 6 years later, we remain one of the very few clinics who have made the commitment to the community in this way.
