Our commitment to military families
We understand that military life comes with unique challenges — frequent relocations, deployments, and the stress of separation can make it hard to build long‑term relationships with a trusted doctor. When a military family arrives in the Suwanee or Gwinnett County area, finding a reliable civilian primary care office that will accept Tricare is often a top priority.
Our team is experienced with Tricare’s authorization and referral requirements, including differences between Tricare Prime, Tricare Prime Remote, Tricare Select, and Tricare Young Adult. We work to ensure your care is billed correctly under your Tricare plan so you are not surprised by unexpected cost shares or balance bills. We treat every military family member — from toddlers to grandparents — with the same respect and thoroughness we would want for our own families.
