Hi, my name is Dr. Alexis Halyard. I'm a family medicine physician at UVA Health. I do a little bit of everything. I think that the beauty of family medicine is that we do have a really broad scope. So I'm able to do regular wellness visits, annual physicals, but I also am an HIV specialist. My mom is a family medicine physician and she is a huge reason why I became a physician. I also realized that I wanted to do something that I felt that I was bringing real benefit to the community that I would live in, and that I could build lifelong relationships with folks. I chose family medicine because I do like seeing people regularly. I like the longitudinal relationships that you get with seeing folks for annual visits or even sick visits. What I also appreciate about family medicine is that I get to see the dynamics of a family and really understand what goes into the care and the health of my patients. I think that someone should choose UVA Health for their care because as a healthcare system, UVA Health is dedicated to promoting the health of all Virginians.
