This isn't a job to me. It's my calling. As a child, I stood in awe of my family doctor, Dr. E.C. Yeary in Ponca City. It didn't matter what ailed us; he could take care of it. He was compassionate care in action. It's what I strive for every day in my practice. For me, the best part of being a physician is my patients. It's a partnership. I continually put myself in my patients' shoes because I want to treat them like I want to be treated. And, no, I'm not perfect, but it's my hope to be like Jesus to people.
