Family practice provided by Drs. Martin Acree, Joyce Brasfield, and Leticia Lindsey.
Located in the heart of the Memphis medical center, Peabody Family Care has developed a reputation as a premier provider of care for the entire family. With three experienced physicians and one nurse practitioner, Peabody offers a combined 48 years of experience in treating illnesses of all types.
In addition to basic healthcare, our practice offers some services which are not normally provided in a family practice facility.
Our goal as a practice is to ensure that you are extremely satisfied with your care. From the moment that you call for your appointment, to the time of discussion with your physician, to the checkout process with our staff, we want to do everything possible to make you feel cared for and appreciated.
Drs. Acree, Brasfield, and Lindsey offer detailed services which allow them to make a thorough assessment within the office. Services include:
Ultrasound
Pelvic and abdominal ultrasounds are used to check for disorders such as cystic fibroids, cystic ovaries, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Ultrasounds are also used to check the growth of a soon-to-be newborn!
In-House Labs
To assist the physicans in making an accurate diagnosis, our lab performs tests including complete blood counts (CBC), urinalysis, protime, strep, and pregnancy.
X-Rays
X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, generated at a high voltage to penetrate the tissues and bones, thereby taking a picture which can be used for diagnosis. By offering this service in-house, we are able to make many diagnoses during the visit, rather than scheduling our patients at another facility.
Smoking Cessation Treatment
According to a 2004 report from the U.S. Surgeon General, eliminating smoking can greatly reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease and other forms of cardiovascular disease. Peabody is excited to offer a focus on smoking cessation, through both medication and behavior adjustment, to patients wishing to quit.
Diabetes Management
Diabetes is a disorder which creates an impaired glucose cycle in the body, and thereby alters a person’s metabolism. Our treatment of diabetes includes dietary alterations, oral medications, insulin injection, and maintaining proper circulation.
Hypertension Management
Also referred to as “high blood pressure,” hypertension affects over 30% of America’s 20-and-over population. It is one of the primary risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, and heart failure, and is also a leading cause of kidney failure. Our physicians treat hypertension as a serious matter, helping our patients with lifestyle and dietary changes, medication management, and close monitoring of their situations.
