Revolutionized By Stan Bishop
Dr. Minerva R. King MD General Practitioner Ever since opening the doors to her private practice in January of this year, Dr. Minerva King has reinforced the fact that maintaining one’s health is no longer an option; but a right. Now armed with a well equipped office to conduct one-onone sessions, in a more intimate setting than afforded in the past eight years, she has finally achieved her goal. Time is of the essence in her profession, she says, and patients need to know that their doctor lends a dedicated ear at every visit, thus
promoting individual holistic care. After graduating in July 2005 from the Superior Institute of Medical Sciences "Dr. Serafin Ruiz de Zarate Ruiz" in Santa Clara, Villa Clara in the Republic of Cuba" where she studied medicine for six years, Dr. King returned to her native Saint Lucia eager to start her career. After an insightful year’s internship as a Physician at the Victoria Hospital, Dr. King embarked on 3 months tenure at St. Jude’s Hospital which prepared her for the journey ahead. However, it would be the experience during the 6 years spent working in the health centres across the island which would bring her the most satisfaction and encourage her to start her own practice.
Today she runs the GASHA Medical Clinic, a complete wellness medical clinic which provides an excellent service with a personal touch, coupled with promoting a healthy lifestyle throughout. Here’s what she says one can expect on a typical day; “We have a warm and welcoming environment here at the clinic. With two physicians present at any given time, patients can just walk in knowing that they wouldn’t have to spend much time waiting. We also have a psychologist to whom we refer patients who need special attention. “Dr. King says the clinic offers efficient and timely lab results and follow-ups. The GASHA Medical Clinic is open from 9 am to 5 pm from Monday to Friday and from 9 am to 1:30 pm on Saturdays. Home visits can also be arranged. Make your next appointment today and get your health on the right track! ¤
