Now, as a Board Certified Emergency Medicine Physician, Dr. Wheeler is excited to use all he has learned to keep his patients out of the ED. In his days and nights in the ED, he had witnessed first hand the brokenness of medicine where the ED has become a primary care clinic because primary doctors just have no time. Dr. Wheeler's years of experience at a Level 1 Trauma Centers as well as rural hospitals, has resulted in a full spectrum of experience in emergency and primary care medicine.
-
He realizes that the skyrocketing of medical cost as well as the revolving door that the ED has become for our patients with chronic conditions is rooted in our system that has often handcuffed the doctor-patient relationship. Dr. Wheeler has chosen the Direct Primary Care model of practice because he wants to spend the time necessary with each patient so that he can dive deep into root cause analysis of their pathological conditions.
-
Only by taking time and effort to dive deep into the patient's ailment, and honoring the relationship of trust with the patient can the physician find satisfactory solutions. Dr. Wheeler is laser focused on making wellness the bedrock of medicine so that he can keep his patients out of the ED and keep them enjoying all aspects of good health.
