About
At The Family Doctor, two physicians deliver direct primary care to the Tucson community under one straightforward philosophy: simple, available, affordable. Dr. Paul D. Kartchner founded the practice in 2014 after a distinguished military career spanning 23 years and medical service across five continents. Dr. Jordan D. Salmon joined in 2026, bringing a decade of family medicine experience and a background in military medicine.
The practice caps its panel at 500 members and schedules appointments within 48 business hours. Members receive 40-minute standard appointments, same-day availability, and their physician's personal cell number. The clinical scope runs wide: family medicine, pediatric care, obesity medicine, medical acupuncture, travel clinic services, and a full range of in-office procedures. The practice dispenses prescription medications at wholesale prices and partners with labs and imaging centers for deeply discounted cash-pay rates. Both physicians speak Spanish fluently. The practice also serves local businesses with pre-employment physicals, drug screenings, worker injury care, and worksite flu shots.
