Burds Family Practice · Primary Care
Healthcare for your whole family, every stage of life.
At Burds Family Practice, primary care isn't just a service — it's a relationship. We get to know you, your history, and your goals, and we're here for all of it — from your child's first checkup to managing a chronic condition to preventive care that keeps you healthy for decades to come.
What to expect
Conditions we manage
Whatever brings you in, we're ready.
From a child's ear infection to managing diabetes for decades — our team is trained and equipped to handle the full range of what families face. Here's a snapshot of what we see and treat every day.
Our primary care services
Comprehensive care, close to home.
We offer the full range of primary care services your family needs — all under one roof, right here in Peosta. No need to drive to Dubuque for excellent care.
Annual Physicals & Wellness Exams
Comprehensive head-to-toe exams for all ages. We review your health history, order preventive screenings, update immunizations, and set goals for the year ahead. Your annual physical is the foundation of staying healthy — not just catching problems.
Sick Visits
When you're not feeling well, you need to be seen quickly. We offer same-day appointments whenever possible for illnesses, infections, injuries, and other acute concerns. No waiting a week when you feel awful today.
Chronic Disease Management
Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, COPD, asthma — ongoing conditions require ongoing relationships. We partner with you for the long haul, adjusting treatment plans and monitoring progress over time so your condition never manages you.
Preventive Care & Screenings
The best time to address a health issue is before it becomes one. We follow evidence-based guidelines for cancer screenings, cardiovascular risk assessment, diabetes prevention, and immunizations — keeping you ahead of problems, not behind them.
Well-Child Visits
From newborn checkups through adolescence, we track your child's growth, development, and immunizations at every stage. We're a resource for parents too — no question is too small when it comes to your child's health.
Mental Health Screening & Support
We screen for anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns as part of our whole-person approach to care. For many patients, primary care is the first and most trusted place to start that conversation — and we take it seriously.
Lab Work & Diagnostic Testing
On-site lab orders and coordination for bloodwork, urinalysis, imaging referrals, and other diagnostics. We review your results with you and explain what they mean in plain language — not medical jargon.
Specialist Referrals & Care Coordination
When you need a specialist, we don't just hand you a phone number. We coordinate your referral, communicate with the specialist, and follow up with you after — so nothing falls through the cracks.
