Family Medicine Specialty
Family Medicine is centered on providing lasting,
caring relationships with patients and their families. Family Physicians
specialize in caring for the physical and emotional well-being of
their patients and their families. They are trained to care for
family members through all stages of life. Family Physicians really
know their patients, understand the impact of their health history
and situation, and take the time to listen and help.
Family Physicians are specialists, just like obstetricians, pediatricians
or surgeons. Unlike those doctors, however, Family Physicians are
trained to treat the entire family. They possess unique attitudes,
skills and knowledge to provide continuous, comprehensive health
care for any patient, regardless of sex, age or type of problem.
They receive three years additional post-graduate training in real
practice settings, treating patients in the office, the hospital
and at home. Family Physicians know the most up-to-date treatments
and technologies. They re-certify more than any other medical specialty.
Their Continuing Medical Education means that Family Physicians
are experts at applying the latest medical breakthroughs to the
everyday care of their patients. All our physicians are Board Certified
specialists in Family Medicine.

Organization and
History
Georgetown Medical Clinic, a Professional
Association, is a private medical group practice of Family Physicians
uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of illnesses.
Our physicians practice in a group to combine their skills into
a single professional unit to provide high quality medical care.
Our physicians promote collaboration and cooperation, supporting
each other to make continuous, convenient care available to all
our patients. We also make sure that specialized medical skills,
x-ray, laboratory, and other important clinical services are readily
available to you and your family. Georgetown Medical Clinic continues
its tradition of providing the best in technical and scientific
expertise to address patient problems, and treating patients with
personal attention and compassion.
In 1947 Dr. Hal Gaddy opened his practice in Georgetown.
In 1958 Dr. Douglas Benold joined the practice, followed by Dr.
James Shepherd, Dr. John Webb and Dr. Richard Pearce. These physicians
originally maintained offices in the old hospital building in central
Georgetown. The practice continued to expand its service area throughout
Williamson County and Central Texas and later moved to its present
18,000 square foot facility on Scenic Drive. In planning for the
future of the practice, the physicians have agreed that every physician
maintain Board Certification as a Specialist in Family Medicine.
The group practice is currently composed of eight family physicians,
certified physician assistants, and over 40 nurses and medical support
staff.
