Providing Care at the Clinic in Wickenburg – “I was in high school when I first started thinking about a career in medicine. I became involved with research at ta hospital in Cincinnati and before I knew it, I was hooked. I received a BA and MS in Zoology at Miami University, spent a year doing research with lasers in medicine. I then went on to Medical College of Ohio where I subsequently completed my residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Cincinnati. I enjoy practicing medicine in rural communities because my patients care about their health and wellbeing. It is wonderful to be in Wickenburg treating people and hearing patients say thank you.

The place to find key patient and community member notices, or answers to frequently asked questions.
Healthcare billing delays often arise from extended insurance claim processing. These insurance delays can lead to confusion and financial strain for patients, who may not receive their bill until weeks or months after care is provided, making it harder to plan financially.
At Wickenburg Community Hospital & Clinics, we strive for timely and accurate billing. However, we cannot bill our patients until the organization has received full and accurate payment from insurance companies, a process that is often protracted and beyond our control. Once we are confident that the patient’s claims are processed and paid accurately by the insurance company, then we move forward with issuing a bill to the patient. Rest assured, we are committed to clear communication and our patient’s well-being.
