Whole Person Care

Preventive care to ensure wellness

Our practice is general in nature and we provide a full range of preventive care services to patients two years old and over. Our annual physical exam includes appropriate preventive care screenings that let us catch small problems before they can affect your overall health. 

Rogue River Family Practice Clinic has an osteopath on staff: Dr. Brian Mateja is a doctor of osteopathic medicine who is specially trained in the musculoskeletal system and has a keen understanding of how your body’s nerves, muscles and bones work together to keep your body in balance. He can do osteopathic manipulation therapy, when appropriate, to ease pain.

Colonoscopies

We perform colonoscopies and endoscopies locally to make it convenient and comfortable to get these important screenings.

X-rays and Lab Draws

Our annual physical exam includes appropriate preventive care screenings that let us catch small problems before they can affect your overall health. These may include a blood pressure check, complete blood count, chemistry panel, urinalysis, pelvic exam (for women), and prostrate exam (for men).

We also offer a range of services to complement our general care, including:

  • Onsite lab draws: We do blood tests in our office, making the process more private, affordable, convenient and comfortable.
  • Onsite X-ray: Our in-house equipment lets us review results immediately to diagnose injured bones and determine your bone density.
