Family Doctors

What Family Doctors does

The Family Doctors is a privately held, independent family medicine practice founded in 1978 by Michael O. Fleming, M.D. and headquartered in a single clinic at 8383 Millicent Way, Shreveport, Louisiana. It serves individuals and families across the Shreveport/Bossier City area, providing comprehensive primary care including wellness exams, acute and sick visits, chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease), women's health, immunizations, travel medicine, and DOT/FAA physicals. Care is delivered by 14 providers — 10 physicians, 2 nurse practitioners, and 2 physician assistants — several of whom hold academic appointments at LSU Health Shreveport and board certifications across family medicine sub-specialties.

The practice operates an on-site, CLIA-approved laboratory, two full diagnostic X-ray units, ultrasound, and bone densitometry, enabling in-clinic diagnostic workups that would otherwise require external referrals. Patient-facing technology is limited to commodity tools: the Follow My Health patient portal for records and messaging, and the Phreesia self-scheduling platform for appointment booking. Hospital coverage is provided through partnerships with Christus Hospitalist Group and Willis-Knighton Pierremont hospitalists, with ultrasound reads contracted to Christus Highland Hospital Radiology.

The business model is fee-for-service primary care, billed through commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and self-pay (with a discounted rate for prompt payment). Revenue is generated entirely from patient visit services, on-site laboratory and diagnostic testing, and ancillary procedures (minor surgery, colposcopy/LEEP, EKG, immunizations). The practice does not disclose revenue, has no external investors, and operates as an independent physician group with no parent company or subsidiary structure.
