About Methodist Family Medicine Clinic

At Methodist Family Medicine Clinic, we specialize in the treatment of the whole patient across all stages of life – from newborns to seniors. The healthcare team is led by board-certified family medicine physician James Schindler, MD, MPH. Dr. Schindler has nearly 40 years of medical experience in family medicine and previously practiced at Hamblen Primary Care in Morristown. Dr. Schindler specializes in family medicine, which is a branch of internal medicine that is able to treat patients of all ages with a deeper understanding of the patient’s medical history. It provides comprehensive, continuous care for the duration of a person’s life, such as diagnosing and treating acute illnesses, offering preventive care like immunizations and screening tests, and managing chronic illnesses.

We offer comprehensive medical services from age-appropriate immunizations, wellness exams, and acute illnesses like cold & flu, to caring for your chronic health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. With more than 35 years of combined medical experience, our expert healthcare team is ready to provide you with excellent care. We’re proud to be a member of Covenant Medical Group, the physician practice group of Covenant Health.

Telehealth

Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — lets patients receive medical care virtually without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

You can schedule a virtual appointment by calling our office or by requesting a visit through our secure patient portal, MyCovenantHealth. Your provider will review your current condition to determine if a telehealth appointment is right for you.

Here is more information about telehealth visits at Methodist Family Medicine Clinic.
