Family medicine means to me, first and foremost, relationships. Know, I think one of the hallmarks of our specialty in what we do is really building relationships within communities. And those relationships are what really allow us to provide that bread and butter medicine that we like to provide, is primary care and preventive care. So what we're doing with this is we're really looking long term. What are the preventive medicine things that we need to do for you to set you up for a long and healthy life? Other things that we do, we do manage chronic conditions, everything from diabetes to thyroid disorder, as well as heart disease, kidney disease, anything that falls in those categories.

After I had my thyroid up, it's just been a rollercoaster with emotions. So Doctor. Bushclaw picked up on my medications, seen what I was taking, and seen that one of my medications that I was taking needs to be taken a certain way. We fixed that and it has definitely shown a big improvement.

We really try to take an approach to the individual patient. So if you come in and you're coming to see me for a well child visit and you're a two year old, I'm going have a different approach than if you're coming to see me for that twenty year old visit.

And that's all based on evidence based medicines, the things that we're being recommended to do for those preventive care Being a patient of his, it truly makes you feel heard.

He really digs through to find what's going on. He wants to figure out the cause so that way we're just not masking the symptoms. He's truly figuring out what's causing those symptoms. So I trust him fully with my care.
