Our Services
Quality health care at every stage of life.
INTERNAL MEDICINE
We have the only internal medicine doctor in the county. Internists compliment our family physicians in their clinical approach and training. Focused primarily on adults, internal medicine provides extensive knowledge and care for outpatient and inpatient settings, dealing with complex medical issues.
Providers: Dr. Avery Jeffers
OBSTETRICS
Our family medicine doctors and physician assistants manage care for a broad range of women’s health needs from conception services like intrauterine insemination, through pregnancy, and childbirth. We also provide essential gynecological care with well woman exams and family planning needs.
Providers: Dr. Stuart Knapp, Dr. Daniel Patten, Chantee Wyatt PA-C
PEDIATRICS
Your children are cared for by a team of healthcare providers who focus on preventing, detecting, and managing care of infants to young adults. Pediatric services at Willow Valley Medical Clinic are second-to-none in providing the best care throughout your child’s physical and mental health developmental stages, including all immunization needs.
Providers: Dr. Stuart Knapp, Dr. Daniel Patten, Chantee Wyatt PA-C, Joel Webb PA-C
WOMEN’S HEALTH
The healthcare of women requires a unique attentiveness. Our physicians provide comprehensive care to include everything from family planning and annual check-ups to mammography, Pap test to screen for cervical cancer, and the care after. As part of the FCMC campus, we also have access to specialists and technology to manage complex medical needs.
Providers: Dr. Stuart Knapp, Dr. Daniel Patten, Dr. Avery Jeffers, Chantee Wyatt PA-C, Joel Webb PA-C,
SPORTS MEDICINE
Care of athletes means more than annual physicals. We evaluate and treat non-surgical issues such as sprains, concussions, joint injuries, casting, and splinting. Our providers work with the FCMC physical therapists, athletic trainers and orthopedic surgeons to assess, evaluate, and provide a plan to get you back in the game. You’ll also notice our doctors and PAs on the sidelines at Preston and West Side High School athletic events, providing care to young athletes.
Providers: Dr. Stuart Knapp, Dr. Daniel Patten, Dr. Avery Jeffers, Chantee Wyatt PA-C, Joel Webb PA-C
FAMILY MEDICINE
Providing healthcare to your full family unit, our physicians follow the life cycle of medical issues that may occur. Focusing on multiple generations allows us to have an in-depth family history and provide the best preventative care and work with multiple specialists on the FCMC campus to find the right fit of care when the need occurs.
Providers: Dr. Stuart Knapp, Dr. Daniel Patten, Chantee Wyatt PA-C, Joel Webb PA-C
ANNUAL SCREENINGS
Wellness screenings save lives, so it’s so incredibly important to schedule an annual wellness visit with your doctor. Depending on your family history and lifestyle, they may recommend screenings sooner than the ages listed here. Regardless, staying on top of your screening schedule will give you peace of mind for now, and all the years to come.
In the long-run, annual visits such as this are shown to decrease hospital visits. Your care team does this by working with you and managing your conditions at home versus in the Emergency Department.
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
VACCINE POLICY
Here at FCMC Medical Clinic, we support childhood immunizations. We recognize the vital role these vaccinations have played in safeguarding the health of children for multiple generations. Getting your child vaccinated not only helps protect your child, it also helps protect others in your community—like your friend who cannot get certain vaccines, or your neighbor’s new baby who is too young to be fully vaccinated. When everyone who can get vaccinated does get vaccinated, it helps to prevent the spread of disease within a community.
While we encourage childhood immunizations, we also recognize and respect a parent’s right to make choices regarding your child’s healthcare. Our hope is to provide information and answer questions to help you make a good decision for you and your child. Our intention is to partner with you in your child’s care, without judgment and with sound reasoning.
Please approach any of our providers or clinical staff with questions you may have regarding immunizations. They want to help you make an informed and appropriate decision for your child. We have also provided a schedule of recommended immunizations based upon age. In a partnership with the state of Idaho, we offer all recommended childhood immunizations in a safe, friendly environment.
Learn more about childhood immunizations by reviewing the CDC’s Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule (PDF).
