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.
