If you’re looking for a family doctor accepting new patients in Fort Worth, you’re not alone! UNT Health Fort Worth Clinical Practice Group is here to help you start with confidence. This step-by-step guide will help you find a provider who aligns with the health goals that matter most to you.

 

The importance of a family doctor

No one has the time or energy to find a doctor accepting new patients when you’re already sick or injured. Be proactive in identifying a family physician near Fort Worth’s cultural district who can provide a home base for all of your healthcare needs.

A family doctor has a wide scope of knowledge, addressing health issues across many ages and stages of life, making it convenient to bring the whole family for appointments. Some benefits of designating a PCP are:

• Preventative care and screenings

• Comprehensive care from routine check ups to managing chronic illnesses

• Acute care for minor illnesses and injuries

• Advice to achieve your health goals – from lifestyle changes to prescriptions when needed

• Early detection of health issues

• Coordination of care and referrals

• Convenient care with one provider for the whole family

At UNT Health Clinical Practice Group, our providers and advanced practice professionals are here to support you in every aspect of health, whether that’s making changes to live a healthier lifestyle, navigating a difficult diagnosis, or walking through major life events.

 

Signs it’s time to find a new provider

• You’re aging into Medicare and want primary care continuity

Our family doctors are accepting new patients in Fort Worth and would be happy to help! Our patients commonly comment on our providers' active listening skills and familiarity with their medical history.
