Physicians

Our physicians and APPs are committed to serving in the communities they call home throughout Minnesota. As the leading provider of rural health, we hired over 100 physicians and APP in the past year. Our strong primary care base, and the recruitment of specialist and sub-specialists has allowed us to achieve nationally recognized patient care.
 

Not only do we have top-notch technology and state-of-the-art facilities, but our people are what makes us stand out! Living in the communities we serve- we are your neighbors, friends, and family.

Physician Testimonials
"Being able to take care of families and their worries from head to toe provides a lot of variety and allows me to continue learning, one patient at a time. I also enjoy taking care of women throughout pregnancy, delivering babies, and watching families grow."

Physician Testimonials
"As a physician in a small community, the community as a whole becomes your patient — not just those patients sitting in your exam room. You really are a part of the community as you take care of the entire community. For me, what helps me stay grounded is the idea that I’m in a unique position and I’ve been entrusted by my patients and this community with this task of trying to help
them be healthy."

Physician Testimonials
"I really believe it is an honor to do what I do. This is part of my life and not just a job. I hope I never get to a point where I don’t feel that honor when I sit with a patient and talk about what’s going on in their life. If I can help them then I’ll do it, whether it’s removing an ingrown toenail or figuring out why they’ve had night sweats and unexpected weight loss over the last six months. It’s really just a great, great privilege and opportunity to do what I do."

Physician Testimonials
“Willmar became a second home to me, and it's also become a second home for my career. CentraCare lets me have a life balance, see my family, and take excellent care of patients. What makes my job worthwhile is the personal connection with a patient that allows
me to help them have a better life.”
