When sickness strikes seeing a familiar face can make all the difference.
That’s exactly what people receive when they become patients at the Clarkston Medical Group ? friendly familiar doctors who are there for everyday checkups as well as those unexpected hospital trips.
‘It’s comforting for patients to see a familiar face in the foreign environment of a hospital. Being sick can be scary, but seeing the same person who treated you at your clinic is a comforting thing,? said Dean Moscovic, D.O.
Now you can see a Beaumont doctor right in your own hometown.
CMG on Dixie Highway provides 24-hour urgent care while addressing every day checkups right in Clarkston. The facility has three Beaumont Hospital physicians on staff.
Doctors Renny Abraham, Dean Moscovic and Nancy Crossley all practice internal medicine and pediatrics at CMG while visiting patients at Beaumont hospitals in Troy and Royal Oak as well as St. Joseph Mercy hospital.
‘You have two worlds of medicine care; primary and urgent care. This is a melting pot between the two,? said Moscovic. ‘It’s nice for our patients to have it all under one roof.?
‘The setup allows you to build a relationship with patients and take care of an entire family,? said Dr. Crossley.
The physicians pride themselves on seeing patients from the time they are born into adulthood.
‘I see three generations of some families. It’s a real honor when a patient trusts you with both their kids and their parents,? she added.
Looking after the health care of individuals and families from birth allows the doctors unique perspectives from which to employ their medicinal talents.
‘This situation allows for such better health care. You get to see the patient’s whole social picture which can be invaluable during evaluation,? said Crossley.
While many people consider their relationships with the hospital positive, the physicians are cognizant of misconceptions about seeing a doctor affiliated with a hospital.
‘The bottom line, is despite what people may think we have no allegiance to any one hospital. We send people to where they want to go based on what’s in their best interest,? said Moscovic.
All three physicians have two specialties, pediatrics and internal medicine, which allows them to see the patients from birth.
Abraham grew up in Clarkston graduating from Clarkston High School in 1992, making the experience all the more meaningful to him.
‘I’m looking forward to taking care of people I grew up with and neighbors in my own community,? said Abraham.
‘That relationship is the most important thing. If you take care of a community you know personally it really feels like you’re doing that community a great service,? he added.
The three doctors take appointments and CMG accepts most insurances.
