The specialty of family medicine was created in 1969 to fulfill the shortage of generalist physicians following World War II. Family physicians complete a three-year residency program after graduating from medical school and receive training in six major medical areas: pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry and neurology, surgery and community medicine. "In today's rushed, impersonal and clinical medical environment, Dr. Baxley provides a level of care that is refreshingly real and genuine. He understands that when you are sick, you need access to your doctor. It doesn't get much more real than that!" - Brett F. About The Practice Rick Baxley, M.D opened his family practice in 1988 in Orlando's College Park neighborhood. Since then, it has become a medical home for people of all ages and medical conditions, providing comprehensive primary care and integrated health care services. The cornerstone of Dr. Baxley's practice is an ongoing, personal relationship with his patients that emphasizes preventative care and health maintenance in addition to acute care. The detailed medical history that develops from these long-term relationships gives Dr. Baxley the knowledge to better recommend the most appropriate wellness options and treatments. Dr. Baxley is a native of St. Augustine, Florida and a graduate of the University of Florida. He earned his Medical Degree from University of Miami School of Medicine as well as a Masters in Public Health degree from Loma Linda University in California. The compassion he shows for his patients also is reflected in his dedication to community service. In 1994, President Bill Clinton honored Dr. Baxley in a Rose Garden ceremony with the President's Volunteer Action Award from the National Points of Light Foundation for his work with the Health Care Center for the Homeless. In 1999, the Florida Academy of Family Physicians named him "Florida Family Physician of the Year." Outside the office, Dr. Baxley enjoys spending time with his wife Barbara (an early childhood educator) and his two daughters, working on his boat, fishing and listening to good rock and roll music. He also remains an avid University of Florida fan; even to the point of bestowing the name "Gator" on his family's beloved German Shepherd. Konnie has been responsible for keeping all administrative aspects of the office running smoothly since 1998. She is an authority on excellence in customer care and is always looking for ways to improve the patient's experience. In addition, she is available to assist patients who have billing and reimbursement questions. A mother of three, Konnie enjoys running, bike riding and lazy weekends at the beach with her family. STACEY LINDAMOOD Front Office Since 2003, Stacey has been the welcoming face that greets patients when they arrive and the friendly voice that answers the phone when they call.
