  We don’t just do pediatrics, we have a whole program for it! From annual checkups to immunizations, our Well Child program helps keep track of your child’s needs year-round.

You just bring your family, and we’ll put them first.

From bumps, bruises, coughs, stitches, or even broken bones, Family First Medical Center is here to help your entire family when they need it most. When our patients need a same-day urgent care visit, they know they'll be greeted by name and treated by a doctor who knows them. We already have our patients' complete medical history, so there is no need for them to spend time filling out paperwork. Instead, we can focus on providing patients the care they need, so they can quickly get back home to their families.
• Immunizations
  Immunizations are necessary and wonderful. We advocate for preventative health and strongly encourage vaccination. We want to keep you alive and healthy, and vaccination is one of the most proven ways over the decades to accomplish that. With a lot of information about vaccination out there, we can help you understand the truth about what vaccination can do for you and your family’s health.

Gynecologists

• Gynecology
  While we do provide routine women’s health checkups, we do not specialize in gynecology or have an OB/GYN on staff. Any specialized procedures will need to be scheduled with your gynecologist.

• Joint Replacement
  That depends on the extent of your impairment or condition. Someone who has had a joint replacement or a soft tissue repair/reconstruction would likely be coming multiple times a week for 6 to 12 weeks. Perhaps you have not had surgery but are having aches and pains that have been an issue for awhile, making life difficult and unpleasant. The number of visits needed can vary depending on the condition.

Dermatologists

• Dermatology
  With skin being the largest organ of the body, it is no surprise that there are many aspects of the skin that greatly impact our health. From abnormal moles to acne and even to hair and nails, it can be challenging to know how to best move forward with your dermatologic health. Many dermatologic conditions can be treated in our clinic without needing to be seen by a dermatologist. Come in with your concerns and we can discuss what treatments are best for you.

Physical Therapists

• Sports Medicine
  Elite athletic programs have long understood and enjoyed the benefits of therapeutic sports massage, and in more recent years athletes of all ages and competition levels have increasingly taken advantage of these same benefits. Local high school athletes, collegiate athletes, and many weekend warriors have all employed the services of our local massage therapists for their sports therapy needs. Since massage promotes increased blood flow, it is pretty obvious that massage can help promote faster healing with sports injuries. However, there are many other ways that massage can be used to benefit athletes.
• Physical Therapy
  Massage was once primarily connected to day spas, which offered local massage services for those seeking a little luxurious pampering! While a massage from a professional massage therapist can certainly feel luxurious, massage therapy is now an essential part of integrative medicine. There are many different situations and emotional and physical health conditions where a qualified, professional massage therapist can be a key part of your wellness team. For those seeking local massage therapy, Idaho Falls is home to the distinguished Physical Therapy Department of Family First Medical Center where two very skilled massage therapists are a key part of the health and well-being of their patients. At Family First Medical Center, we understand the many health benefits of therapeutic massage and feel that it is essential to provide high-quality local massage therapy services for our patients and for our community at large.
• Back Pain
• Manual Therapy
  Visceral manipulation is a gentle, hands-on manual therapy used to help your internal organs (viscera) glide smoothly within your body according to their natural movement patterns. This is especially important if these small but significant movements are restricted by scar tissue from abdominal surgeries or congestion/inflammation in the connective tissues that surround your abdominal organs. Your massage therapist can use these techniques to treat abdominal pain, constipation, cramps, indigestion, and much more.
