Family Medicine Services in Colorado Springs
A family doctor visit shouldn’t feel rushed, whether it’s for your child, your parents, or yourself. Dr. La Tasha Bruner-Hill provides family medicine services in Colorado Springs and El Paso County, offering physicals, vaccines, and everyday care with enough time to ask questions and make you feel genuinely heard.
Your Family Is More Than a Medical Chart
Maybe your child needs a physical before school starts. You might have been putting off your own checkup. Perhaps an aging parent needs closer attention to a changing health concern or maybe someone in your family simply hasn’t been feeling like themselves lately.
Those situations may look different medically, but they have something in common: you want someone who will take them seriously.
That is what Dr. Tasha strives to provide. Her approach combines evidence-based medicine with a holistic understanding of each person, considering more than the immediate symptom or diagnosis.
Family Medicine Services We Offer in Colorado Springs, CO
Family medicine can be the place you turn for routine care, unexpected concerns, and many of the health needs that come up along the way. At Abundance Health Care, our family medicine services in Colorado Springs and across El Paso County, include:
Physicals
A physical exam gives Dr. Tasha an opportunity to look at your overall health and identify concerns that may need attention. She may check your height, weight, heart rate, blood pressure, reflexes, and other vital signs, while also discussing appropriate preventive screenings based on your age, health history, and individual needs.
Vaccines
Vaccines are an important part of protecting your health and helping prevent the spread of certain illnesses within your family and community. Depending on your age, health history, and vaccination needs, Dr. Tasha can provide recommended immunizations, including flu, tetanus, measles, and other vaccines, to help keep you protected.
Removal of Moles, Skin Tags, Warts, and Other Skin Lesions
Sometimes a mole, skin tag, wart, or other skin lesion can become bothersome, uncomfortable, or simply something you would like to have evaluated. Dr. Tasha can examine appropriate skin concerns and, when removal is appropriate, perform the procedure in the office with your comfort and safety in mind.
Incision and Drainage of Cysts and Abscesses
A painful or swollen cyst or abscess can make everyday activities uncomfortable. When appropriate, Dr. Tasha can perform incision and drainage in the office to release the buildup and provide relief. She will also evaluate the area for signs of infection and determine whether additional treatment or follow-up is needed.
Diagnostic Testing
Sometimes your symptoms or examination findings require a closer look. Through diagnostic testing, Dr. Tasha can gather additional information to better understand what may be happening. Depending on your needs, testing may include pulmonary function tests, electrocardiograms (EKGs), and X-rays, with recommendations made through shared decision-making.
Lab Testing
Lab testing can provide valuable information when evaluating symptoms, monitoring your health, or looking more closely at specific concerns. Depending on your needs, Dr. Tasha may recommend blood work to assess things such as cholesterol levels, thyroid function, and other health markers. Convenient in-office lab testing can also help simplify your care.

Family Medicine That Adapts to Your Family
Family medicine is rarely about treating one person for one isolated concern. Your family may include a child who needs routine wellness care, an adult managing an ongoing condition, or an older parent whose healthcare needs are changing. Each person needs something different.
Our primary care physician, Dr. Tasha approaches family medicine with that reality in mind. She considers where each patient is in life, what their current health needs are, and how those needs may change over time.
Here’s how we make approach towards patients at Abundance Health Care
Care for Every Generation
Family medicine allows Dr. Tasha to care for children, adults, and older adults while designing each visit to the needs of that individual.
Preventive Care Alongside Everyday Care
A routine physical, vaccination, screening, or lab test can be an opportunity to identify concerns early, not simply another item to check off a list.
When Something Changes, You Have Somewhere to Start
Whether you're dealing with a new symptom, skin concern, illness, or unexpected health issue, our family nurse practitioner can evaluate the concern and determine the appropriate next step.
Testing When It Helps Tell the Story
When an examination alone isn't enough, diagnostic testing, lab work, EKGs, pulmonary function tests, X-rays, or skin biopsies may help provide a clearer understanding of what's happening.
Care That Doesn't End With One Concern
Family medicine creates room for continuity. As your health changes, Dr. Tasha can continue to understand your history and help you navigate what comes next.
