October is National Family Medicine Month — a time to celebrate the talents and importance of family practitioners in the diagnosis of illness and disease. As the front line of our healthcare system, it’s vitally important to have a family practitioner whom one can trust and have an established relationship with.

“There’s no better way to help someone solve their problems than to sit down and talk with them about it,” said Dr. Jonathan C. Patrowicz. “Healthcare is very personal to people. They want a great doctor-patient relationship, and my goal is to provide that for them.”

A SignatureMD physician, Dr. Patrowicz offers patients a premium wellness “partnership” focused on creating more time, better communication and a quality relationship with a physician they can trust. This revolutionary model of medicine includes a smaller and better-connected patient panel and contains many exciting and comprehensive benefits — the first being access to Dr. Patrowicz himself. This model is very beneficial for families with school-age children and/or college students, busy moms and working professionals who can communicate with Dr. Patrowicz in a more meaningful way.

“My practice puts the patient as the focus of healthcare and allows for a close partnership to be built between patient and doctor to help them achieve their health and wellness goals,” Dr. Patrowicz said. “My practice has prompt availability, personal attention and a proactive approach to care.”
