Aquatic Therapy can make a remarkable difference after an illness, injury, or surgery, when a patient's sensitivity to pain may be increased or the ability to bear weight on the injured area limited. Water supports the body, reduces joint stress, and provides both resistance and assistance to movement.

Our surgeons also treat rotator cuff impingement and tears, frozen or stiff shoulder, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many other orthopedic conditions.

High-Field Open MRI At Community Memorial Hospital, our high-field open MRI scanner enables us to obtain high-resolution MR images for virtually any patient, including children, individuals with limited mobility, and those who are claustrophobic or obese.

Appointments available Monday through Saturday.

Delivering Your Little Miracle Our family physicians specialize in attentive, compassionate care for you and your baby during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and beyond. Our physicians take call for their own patients which means you highly likely to have the physician you trust at that special time.
