Specializing in all aspects of gastroenterology, DCM’s providers and staff understand the importance of treating the whole person. At DCM, we know the importance of listening attentively to each individual in order to deliver the best care. Asking the most appropriate questions in a non-threatening and non-judgmental manner helps the provider approach the best course of action and plan for each person. Every effort is made to obtain medical records to provide the complete and accurate previous work-up, reviewing past diagnoses and test results. This not only benefits the patient by not duplicating unnecessary tests but also helps hold down the cost of health care. Rebekah Corey, family nurse practitioner and facility director, has a strong belief in the nursing model-of-care; providing patient education, thoroughly discussing diagnoses and results to the patients’ understanding, and providing support and encouragement to achieve lifestyle modifications serves as the basis for all individuals seen in our office. Dr. Corey has advanced her nursing degree to the highest level, doctor of nursing practice (DNP) to provide the best care and at the same time limiting unnecessary tests and procedures.
