estled at the heart of the San Juan Ridge on Tyler Foote Road, the Sierra Family Medical Clinic has been providing full-service medical care to area residents for more than 24 years.

With our staff of nine medical professionals and Monday through Saturday operating hours, the Clinic is the primary health care provider for about 5,000 residents of Nevada and Yuba counties and areas beyond. Our patients come to us for routine physicals, healthcare monitoring, illnesses, accidents and minor emergencies, women's health exams, pediatric care, mental health counseling, dental services, and much more. Our model of "integrated healthcare" offering medical care, behavioral health and dental services all in one location, is becoming nationally known. We can refer patients between departments, and often, within the same day!

"I have been going to the clinic since it first opened. This clinic and Dr. Peter Van Houten have saved my life many times. He’s also taken care of my children. Dr. Van Houten and the clinic are a blessing!"

"I feel treated with respect and dignity and seen as a whole person not as symptoms. I’ve felt that practitioners listened and were knowledgeable about holistic approaches. They go the extra mile to serve. The staff seems cheerful and uplifting. I’m very happy to contribute to such a worthy endeavor. Thank you."

"This is a perfect time to say thanks to all of you for your patience and kindness. You do a valuable service to those of us in need with compassion and dedication. You allow us to sustain dignity and put us at ease without judgment with lots of kindness."
