Meet the family medicine practitioners
Dosher has more than 100 physicians and other professional providers on the Medical Staff of the hospital. In this issue of Dosher Heartbeat, we feature family medicine. This is the branch of medicine designed to provide basic health care to all the members of a family. The family practitioners below have general medicine or osteopathic medicine training and see patients in their offices.
