Welcome to IHA Dexter Primary Care (formerly SJMG Dexter Internal Medicine and Pediatrics)!
IHA Dexter Primary Care is a practice dedicated to providing quality medical care to our patients and life-long care for all of your family. From your newborn to your most senior members - the whole family can receive personal, quality care from our licensed, board-certified family physicians. Our goals are to find illness early, following both national and local guidelines for screening, use office resources and our extensive health care network to provide the highest quality diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for our patients, and exercise belief in preventive health by educating you about healthy lifestyles, immunization, and maintaining well-being.
If you have an urgent medical problem and need assistance when the office is closed, please call the office and your call will be directed to the IHA Call Center. The call center staff will assist you and contact the physician on-call to address your concerns.
We encourage you to sign up for the MyChart Patient Portal, which offers patients personalized and secure online access to portions of their medical records.
IHA Dexter Primary Care has been designated a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). PCMH patients and their family (when appropriate) establish a partnership with their practitioners to ensure they have the support needed to make decisions and participate in their own health care.
As a practice we know that preventive care, including vaccinations, is the most important part of our service to our patients and families. To best protect your children, our other patients, as well as our staff and providers from vaccine-preventable illness, we have made the decision to only accept families into our practice who plan to fully vaccinate their children according to the CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Family Physicians guidelines.
