The new building - which cost $2.5 million including equipment -opened last September and has a 6,000-square-foot first floor with six examination rooms and three specialist rooms.

An elevator to the second floor provides a large area to expand in the near future.

The clinic's primary care physicians are Drs. Serban and Raluca Ionescu plus physician's assistant Miles Miller.

The family practice provides urgent care, internal medicine, primary care, well-child checkups, vaccinations, women's health care, pediatric and adolescent health, annual exams, dermatology, commercial driver's license physicals, pre-employment and post-accident drug screening, long-term nursing care, biopsy bay, allergy injections, electrocardiograms and a Coumadin clinic for administering blood thinners.

The clinic's specialists include Dr. Matt Bailey, who provides orthopedic services, and Dr. John Mercer, who provides urology services.

Mobile ultrasound service is available two days a week. Other services that are available include some lab tests from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and digital X-rays that receive immediate radiologist review.
