I have had the pleasure of working in the field of nursing in one aspect or another for over 33 years. I have extensive training in critical care both surgical and medical. I have provided care in large group settings with multiple providers as well as small rural healthcare settings. I enjoy family medicine the most with an emphasis on primary prevent. I believe that if you listen to the people I serve, that I am able to provide competent health care; both short term and long term with fiscal responsibility.
“I have to say that this whole experience has been so simple and so convenient. The doctor is amazing and I would recommend anyone looking to treat their conditions so they can feel better. The Medicinal concept is real and although not everyone has the same perception on the subject I have to share my experience. I had a bad horse back riding accident where I fractured my pelvis and the hip at 15 yers old. Now I am in my forties. Since I started the prescription I no longer use my walker or cane”
