A couple of primary care doctors have launched a new practice in the heart of Oakland County focused on preventative medicine and maximizing the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Drs. Alissa Citron and Sandra Lerner have been working in primary care for the last decade. They opened Living Well Primary Care in Farmington Hills in January with the idea of focusing on helping their patients live the most healthy lifestyle they can by focusing on preventative care and making smart, incremental decisions.
"It's not about what not to do, but what do you need to do," Dr. Lerner says.
The new practice is currently staffed by Drs. Lerner and Citron, along with three support staff. The doctors plan to continue to expand their medical staff over the rest of this year as they work to establish their practice.
Living Well Primary Care sees patients of all ages from toddlers to senior citizens. The co-founders hope that working with these patients and their families over the long haul will help them make the best decisions about their long-term health, such as getting vaccinated, eating the right food, and maximizing exercise.
"I want us to be a medical resource to guide people through disease prevention," Dr. Lerner says.
