Care for the person. Care for the family.
Circle of Life Family Medicine is a small, physician-owned family practice. Our goal is to partner with patients to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent future disease, with holistic, compassionate primary care.
Our mission draws on medical training, faith, and a respect for life. We care for people regardless of race, ethnic background, gender, age, or belief system.
Family medicine, through every stage of life
Family medicine is the specialty of caring for the entire family: newborns, children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. Family physicians are trained across a range of medical specialties and help coordinate care when another specialist is needed.
The relationship extends beyond a single illness. Routine screenings, preventive care, and conversations about daily habits are part of caring for the whole person.
What does DO mean?
DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Osteopathic physicians are fully qualified physicians. Their approach considers the connection between the body’s systems, with an emphasis on prevention and the whole person.
Both Dr. Chris and Dr. Jen trained in osteopathic medicine. Circle of Life’s approach brings family medicine and osteopathic treatment together in primary care.
Connected to the South Shore
Circle of Life Family Medicine is affiliated with South Shore Hospital and the South Shore Physician Health Organization in Weymouth, Massachusetts.
