Dekalb Family Medicine facility

About Us

At Dekalb Family Medicine on Candler (DFMOC), we make it our mission to provide the highest quality care to all members of the family in a pleasant atmosphere, delivered by a helpful, caring and friendly staff. Our goal is to be one of the best healthcare providers in the county.

We have established ourselves so that you would be able to look to us as your primary source of healthcare. We are here for you, whether you want us to treat an illness or to help you maintain good health. Our training allows us to address the vast majority of medical problems that you may have. If there are special health issues or circumstances, we have excellent rapport with specialists throughout the metro Atlanta area.

We do not require a complete physical on your first visit, but we think it is important for all of our patients to have a complete physical early in our association so that we may get to know everyone better medically and personally. This helps us take better care of you. DFMOC doctors believe that each patient's life experiences, family's health and beliefs affect their own health and how certain treatment will work for them. Knowing a patient and their family helps us to understand and discuss a person's disease. Just as everyone has a different personality, every disease has a personality, and knowing you and your family helps us treat you better!

Modern medicine now has cures and solutions for many serious illnesses, but what you do to prevent disease is extremely important. We stress good health habits to our patients, such as:

  • A nutritious diet
  • Regular exercise
  • Adequate rest
  • Moderation of alcohol use
  • Avoidance of tobacco
  • Seatbelt use
  • Opportunities to relax and enjoy life

We have two convenient locations where our skilled physicians can offer you healthcare services, one on Candler Road in Decatur and one in Lithonia. If you would like to schedule an appointment at either of our locations, please contact us today.
