Medical Care

Cinic Services provided include Family Practice, Immunizations, Laboratory, General Dentistry, Life Skills, Family Advocacy, and Public Health in an ambulatory care setting. The clinic also offers a vast network of Host Nation providers within the local area if specialty care referrals are required. Radiology studies are provided by local national facilities or at RAF Lakenheath.

The dental clinic provides comprehensive dental care for all active duty and other eligible beneficiaries stationed at RAF Croughton, RAF Fairford and other surrounding areas. Specialty referrals can be made to the 48th Medical Group, RAF Lakenheath, for implants and orthodontic treatment. Care may be given after evaluation by their staff; however, it must be noted that orthodontic and/or implant treatment is not guaranteed, and is at the discretion of the provider making the evaluation at RAF Lakenheath. Another option is to seek care at an off base provider for those services and utilize the TRICARE Dental Plan. Dependents are highly encouraged to seek care at their civilian dentist prior to coming overseas. The clinic's practice is primarily focused on providing General Dentistry and Preventive care for active duty members and their families. For further information feel free to contact the Dental clinic at DSN 236-8819/Comm. 01280-708-819.
