The Oxford health community has yet another option for residents when looking for local, quality health care.
This past September, Dr. Galina Tikh, formerly of Rochester Medical Center, moved her practice to 119 S. Washington St., Suite 1. The Advanced Integrated Medical (A.I.M.) Center for Health, P.C. has been up and running ever since.
‘This is a nice growing area,? said Dr. Tikh. ‘It’s also close to the hospitals I use and convenient for my patients.?
Dr. Tikh is a diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine. She is on staff at Beaumont and Crittenton hospitals, and has a separate office in Southfield. Her move to Oxford has allowed her to expand her medical services to the public.
The practice is open to adults and children age 13 and older. She offers a wide range of internal medicine services including physical examinations; documented physicals for school, sports and employers; preventive medicine; women’s health care; x-ray services; laboratory services; on-site cholesterol testing; immunizations; smokers and lung testing; and EKG, heart and blood vessel testing including Holter monitors.
‘We offer attenative, personal and professional care,? said Dr. Tikh.
The office staff includes medical assistant Paulette Niesluchowski and receptionist Jessica Frederick. The two women agree that many patients are pleased with the office’s ‘warm and home-like? atmosphere.
‘Several patients have told us about the homey feeling and comfortable office,? said Niesluchowski. ‘And friendly, we’ve been told it’s very friendly here.?
‘And efficient,? added Frederick. ‘We are definitely efficient in patient care.?
Dr. Tikh, a native of Russia, received her internal medicine degree while living in Moscow. She said she moved her family to the U.S. in order to have a better life for herself and her children.
‘I wanted to come here for a better future, better life for my family,? she explained. ‘I’ve been living and working here since 1990.?
The A.I.M. Center for Health, P.C. takes care of around 500 patients from the Oxford-Lake Orion area all the way to Rochester.
The office is open Monday from 1-7 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to Noon.
