My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My partner, Dr. Brent Jacobus, and I understand and recognize the need for proactive, preventive care in thwarting disease and illness. Our passion continues to be patient care and providing the highest level of clinical knowledge in a compassionate and friendly environment.
I am originally from northwest Indiana and have practiced medicine locally for 17 years. Needless to say, I love our community and enjoy serving its people! My personal interests include spending time with my wife and three boys, enjoying the Lake Michigan beach, community volunteer involvement, mission trips, triathlons and of course... basketball.
Board-certified as a family doctor, I enjoy caring for all ages and health issues at every stage of life. My hospital affiliations include St. Mary Medical Center and Pinnacle Hospital.

We had just moved here from out of state. We were looking for a doctor that would take new patients, and hopefully not be one of the doctor mill types that waits for a key word, and then farms you out to someone else.

I was having severe pains one night, and it just reached a point that… See more
