Atkins Family Medical Clinic

Quality of life and quality of medical care tend to go hand-in-hand and for the past several months residents of southern Benton County are learning about the Virginia Gay “Healing Tradition” at the new Atkins Family Medical Clinic (AFMC).

Residents of Atkins and the surrounding communities now have the benefit of receiving top-notch care only minutes from home, in a family-centered medical care practice that includes: a family clinic, therapy facility and pharmacy, located just moments from downtown Atkins.

Trusted care is provided by Physician Assistant, Stephanie Vogeler, with 30 years of clinical experiences and a warm, comfortable demeanor. She enjoys the small town practice, largely because of the ability to connect with the community and the opportunity to create intergenerational relationships with family members.

Prompt, professional and compassionate care are hallmarks of the Atkins Family Medical Clinic. This clinic is equipped with state-of-the art examination rooms, onsite electrocardiogram (EKG) machine, and direct access to Virginia Gay Hospital providers. The Atkins Family Medical Clinic is ready to serve your family’s medical needs today.

The AFMC provides traditional family medical care, and includes these types of services: illness, injury, check-ups, well-child services (e.g., immunizations and check-ups), physicals: annual, sport, and DOT, allergy shots, and women’s health services. Collocated, within the same building, are the Therapy Clinic and full-service Pharmacy.

All major health insurance is generally accepted – call your insurance provider if you have questions about coverage.
