Novant Health Lakeside Primary Care-Locust

We have developed a team of healthcare providers who are committed to excellence in disease prevention, disease management, service to our patients, customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction. Through exemplary service, delivered with compassion and understanding, we diligently strive to keep our patients, employees, and community healthy.

Lakeside Family Physicians and Lakeside Primary Care earn national recognition for patient-centered care. The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is the new model of healthcare delivery that aims to improve the quality and efficiency of care. PPC-PCMH identifies practices that promote partnerships between individual patients and their personal clinicians, instead of treating patient care as the sum of several episodic office visits.

As family physicians, we are trained to evaluate and treat many acute problems and illnesses in all age groups. We are experienced in the evaluation and management of common healthcare concerns including respiratory infections, musculoskeletal problems, skin rashes and abdominal and chest problems of recent onset.

We perform the important periodic wellness visits that evaluate your child's health over time. At these times we evaluate growth and development, assess overall health, provide necessary immunizations and discuss anticipatory guidance. We provide school and sports physicals for children, adolescents and college level students.
