Announcements
Our office is located int he new Velocity Sports Performance Building at the corner of Hwy 153 and Powers Boulevard in Powdersville. Look for the bright red Velocity lettering on the front of the building just north of Foothills Motorsports.
We are excited to announce the association with Oak Tree Medical Group. Our office location remains the same but with expanded services and support, giving you easy access to care and better office hours to meet your schedule. Please check back soon for announcements of our newest providers added to the practice.
A regional expert in sleep disorders revealed that less than 1% of physicians routinely ask patients about sleep hygeine (how a person rests). We are on the cutting edge of developments in sleep disorder management and diagnosis and want to know if you are having trouble. We are finding a tremendous number of patients with significant problems caused by sleep irregularities and we're finding ways to help them! Please contact the office if you or someone you know might be having trouble with too much or too little sleep.
