Family Medicine

Everyone needs a medical home. A place where their provider is familiar with their medical history, genuinely cares about their well-being, and can treat everyone in the family. That’s the type of exceptional care you receive from the family medicine practitioners at Living Water Community Health and Wellness Clinic, aka Living Water Clinic, at its four locations in Porterville, Lindsay, Visalia and Woodlake, California

Established patients have direct access to providers during office hours and when the providers are checking their charts. When you receive chronic disease management, such as ongoing care for diabetes and asthma, you have 24/7 access via telephone. Living Water Clinic has an electronic medical records (EMR) system and a real-time answering service that allows patients to access their records and contact their provider online. You can also take advantage of telemedicine, which is an online video conference using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. With telemedicine, you can receive most of your care from the convenience of your home.
