By Ilona Yurfeld, MD, Family Medicine at Millennium Physician Group
Choosing a primary care physician is one of the most important decisions you can make for your long-term health. It’s more than just checkups and prescriptions – it’s about finding someone who is committed to walking alongside you, helping you prevent illness, manage chronic conditions, and feel confident about the choices you make for your health.
I am privileged to care for the families in the Southwest Florida community. Through Millennium
Physician Group, I am part of a team that offers multiple locations across Lee County, providing
convenient access to the care you need.
Why Primary Care Matters
Good health begins with primary care, which provides a strong foundation for maintaining your health as well as a source for treatment when needed. As a physician specializing in family medicine, I concentrate on helping adults stay well, detect problems early through preventive care and manage illness with patient-centered services to improve health outcomes.
That means I don’t just treat conditions – I listen to my patients and what they need. Whether it’s lowering blood pressure or cholesterol, stabilizing diabetes, or adjusting diet and daily habits, we’ll work together to craft a care plan that fits your life, your needs, and your priorities.
Clear communication is essential in healthcare, so my goal is to ensure every patient fully understands their health, their options, and their next steps.
Comprehensive Care for Every Stage of Adulthood
Family medicine covers a wide range of health needs. In my practice, we focus on:
• Preventive Care – Annual wellness exams, screenings, and lifestyle guidance to help you stay ahead of health issues.
• Chronic Condition Management – Ongoing support for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure or cholesterol, and arthritis.
• Acute Care – Prompt treatment for illnesses and injuries so you can recover faster.
• Coordination with Specialists – Helping you navigate care when multiple health concerns overlap.
• Whole-Person Health – Addressing physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
I also believe medicine works at its best when it’s personal. Because your health is more than just numbers on a chart, I take the time to discuss not only your symptoms but also what is happening in your life, including your stress, routines, and goals – the things that truly impact how you feel on a day-to-day basis.
