The birth of NVS clinic
was developed from Dolly's husbands serious coronary condition and their
search for a treatment that could improve his health as well as his quality of
life. Dolly has played the
pivotal roll in combining and bringing a compassionate and caring staff to the Wickenburg area.
"We are determined to provide health care to the
community in a fashion where we know all of our patients, and work with
them to take personal responsibility and control of their
issues. In too many cases,
we allow the government or some other bureaucracy to determine our treatment. In this clinic, we
will be patient centered rather than insurance centered. While we welcome private insurance plans,
we also
welcome all Medicare patients. For those who do not have insurance, we can
offer payment arrangements."
One of the many amazing things about Dolly, is her ability to remember your name
when you walk in the door. You instantly feel comfortable with her. Dolly makes
all of her patients feel like old friends whether its a first or repeat visit. You will come to
find out very quickly how much she truly cares about her
patients and her staff.
