MEDICAL STAFF
The physicians at LifeCare Medical Center provide
invaluable service. In addition to practicing family medicine,
these physicians offer knowledge and experience in many other
areas of medicine including obstetrics, emergency and diabetes
care, and stress tests. They conduct endoscopy procedures such
as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, plus patient surgeries such as
appendectomies and Caesarean sections, and outpatient surgeries
including tonsillectomies and ear tube procedures.
They make referrals and oversee such services as ultrasounds,
x-ray, CT scans, MRI, laboratory, hospice, nursing home, home
care, respiratory and pulmonary rehabilitation, and physical and
occupational therapy.
Equally diverse are the hobbies and interests these physicians
pursue outside the office. From aviation and hunting to quilting
and running the sound equipment at a local parish, these doctors
have personal interests that take them far beyond the familiar
white lab coat. What they share, however, is an appreciation for
Roseau County’s quality of life, strong sense of family and
community, and the steady growth of our community, hospital, and
healthcare system.
