WHAT IS A FAMILY SPECIALIST?
The patient-physician relationship with the patient viewed in the context of the family. It is the extent to which this relationship is valued, developed, nurtured and maintained that distinguishes family medicine from all other specialties. The American Academy of Family Physicians defines a “specialist” in family medicine as a physician who meets at least one of the following three criteria:
1. Current Board Certification by the ABFM, or
2. Successful completion of an ACGME-approved family medicine residency program, or a three year AOA approved postgraduate family medicine residency program, or
3. Maintenance of eligibility requirements for active membership in the AAFP.
Dr. Kushner meets all of these criteria.

PRESCRIPTION REFILLS
Prescription refills are ideally made at each appointment which ensures that the most current information is translated to the pharmacist. E prescribing is done wherever possible. Most prescription medications require laboratory monitoring and at the time of the prescription the patient is educated as to the extent of that monitoring.
