Facts about the
​COVID-19 Vaccine

  • COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective at preventing COVID-19 disease, especially severe illness and death.
  • You may have side effects after vaccination. These are normal and should go away in a few days.
  • It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. You are not fully vaccinated until 2 weeks after the second dose of a 2-dose vaccine or 2 weeks after a single-dose vaccine.
  • Everyone aged 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible.
  • The COVID-19 vaccine is free.

I went to the Frostburg office. It was a perfect experience!! The staff was friendly, professional, welcoming, and really made me feel comfortable and at ease. I can’t recommend them enough if you are looking for a doctor or PCP.

I've always found staff as pleasant. Some days as all people have busy, hectic and rude patients who are very impatient. If you've ever worked with/for the public you can relate the front desk not only answers phones, they call to confirm, sometimes listen to patient negative comments. I give a strong thumbs up. Everything in one location.

The wait time to be seen is very reasonable. My provider is Denise Wilson, CRNP, who is absolutely wonderful. She is very thorough and takes time to answer any questions I have. The patient portal makes it easy to see notes from my visits, pay my bill, etc.

Our Frostburg Location

Dr. Jesus Tan, who retired in June 2020, arranged for Gonzaga Family Health to continue care for his patients in Frostburg, MD and the surrounding areas. With the COVID-19 spread, our transition care team focused on getting patients set up with telemedicine appointments to prevent any lapse of care.

​We are accepting new patients in both our LaVale and Frostburg locations.
