A message from our founder, Dr. Yuko McColgan

Thank you for taking the time to explore the Yuko Family Medicine website!

My practice is focused on a few key principles.

Proactive Health

I firmly believe that prevention is the key to maintaining good health. Through regular check-ups, comprehensive screenings, and health assessments, I strive to identify potential health risks and address them proactively. By closely monitoring your health, we can detect any signs of illness or disease at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. My goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to actively participate in your own healthcare journey and take proactive steps towards better health.

Culturally Informed Care

I am dedicated to providing personalized healthcare in both Japanese and English. Through appointments in both languages, I ensure that language is not a barrier to receiving quality healthcare. This allows me to effectively communicate with and understand the needs and concerns of patients from diverse cultural backgrounds. Whether you prefer to express yourself in Japanese or English, I am here to listen, support, and guide you in a language that you are comfortable with.

Patient Centered Care

At my practice, you are at the center of everything we do. I believe in establishing strong doctor-patient relationships based on trust, empathy, and open communication. By actively listening to your concerns, understanding your medical history, and considering your individual needs and goals, I create personalized care plans that align with your unique circumstances. I strive to empower you with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.

Holistic Care

I believe in treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. In addition to addressing your physical health, I take into account the interconnectedness of your mental, emotional, and social well-being. My approach to healthcare incorporates a holistic perspective, focusing on promoting balance and harmony in all aspects of your life. I work with you to develop comprehensive care plans that may include lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and complementary therapies, all aimed at optimizing your overall well-being.

I look forward to welcoming you to my practice. Together, we can achieve optimal health and well-being.
