Chronic conditions, treated with the rest of you
Diabetes, blood pressure and weight are usually tangled together. Dr. Wood is board certified in obesity medicine as well as family medicine, so the physician managing your blood sugar is also the one who can treat the weight behind it — see medical weight management.
Labs without a second trip
Kaylee Rea, EMT-B, takes your vital signs before each visit and draws blood in the office, so most lab work happens at the same appointment.
Where Dr. Wood trained and worked
She earned her MD at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and trained in family medicine at Saint Louis University, adding a Master of Science in Public Health there. Her earlier practice was at Belleville Family Medical Associates and at the Marissa Medical Clinic of Sparta Community Hospital, a rural clinic she built. More on Dr. Wood and the team.
