  • About Christopher M. Beard, MD PHD

    As a Family Medicine physician that provides OB care, I have the added privilege of watching families develop from the very beginning. I can also care for your newborn, frequently combining post-partum care with newborn visits to make the life of a new mother a bit simpler. I also perform many in-office procedures such as vasectomy, circumcisions, lumps/bumps excisions, skin excisions/biopsies, lipoma removals, shoulder/knee injections, emergency laceration repairs.

    Philosophy of care

    The patient-physician relationship is a partnership with each side bringing skills and ideas on how to achieve great things.
