Family Medicine and Patient Care Approach
Family medicine provides broad healthcare across different ages and health needs. Regular visits may include reviewing symptoms, medications, laboratory results, family history, preventive screening needs, and risk factors for common chronic diseases.
Dr. Cartwright provides care for both adults and children, allowing him to address preventive needs as well as conditions that may require ongoing monitoring. His current NPI record identifies Family Medicine as his primary specialty, while current WVU Medicine information lists him as an employed family medicine provider.
Continuity is particularly useful in primary care because changes in blood pressure, blood sugar, medications, or recurring symptoms can be followed over time. When specialist evaluation is appropriate, a family physician can also help coordinate recommendations with the patient’s broader medical history.
