Guest Speaker
I was able to speak at my daughter’s high school health occupations class. It was so great getting to share the occupation I love with this special group of teenagers.
“My experience with Amber has been wonderful. It's always easy to get in touch with her if I ever have a question. She takes her time with you and listens to your concerns. I appreciate her knowledge and her desire to help guide you through each part of your health journey. It's like having a personal coach.
Amber takes a realistic approach to her patients care with regards to the costs to her patients. She is always looking for new and better ways to provide medication and services at realistic costs. I recommend anyone seeking a better solution to the current health providers available to come see Amber, she is the best.”

Whether you’re curious about Direct Primary Care, exploring ways to take charge of your wellness, or just looking for trusted insight from someone who truly cares, you’re in the right place.
