Ferguson Family Medicine

History

The Ferguson family grew up on Long Island. Dr. James W. Ferguson has been practicing Family Medicine for over 36 years and spent years teaching in multiple medical schools. Dr. James A. Ferguson grew up working in his father's office and chose to model his career in his father's footsteps; while in medical school he did his family medicine training in the same hospital as his father with the same professors. Both doctors have worked together as a father-son team, doing volunteer medical missions in Central America, Puerto Rico and Haiti, and continue to volunteer together in the underserved patient community every month.

Specialties

A family practitioner is a doctor who specializes in caring for people of all ages, at all stages of life. Rather than focusing on the treatment of one disease or patient population, family practitioners are often the primary doctors that people see for their everyday ailments, like cold and flu or respiratory infections, and health screenings. The doctors also provide physicals, inoculations, prenatal care, treat chronic diseases, like diabetes and asthma, and provide advice on disease prevention.
