Practicing medicine as a team for healthy patients and a healthy community.
Dr. Ricky Stevens on mission in Bolivia.
When asked in medical school what specialty he would go into, he would answer the only thing he did not want to do was to be a primary care physician in a small town. Never tell God what you will not do unless you want him to give that to you as heart’s desire. In residency when it was time to specialize, Dr. Stevens did not send off a single application because he knew he wanted to raise his family and practice in a small town. Since 2005, the practice has striven to provide patient centered care with a focus on quality, compassion, and integrity.
We moved to our new location in late 2017. Our model is practice as a team. From the front desk to nurses to our providers to our check out, we hope you will come and experience our caring and knowledgeable staff who will take the time to diagnose, examine, treat, and explain your condition. We specialize in taking care of our community!
