Drs. Davis and Cummings first met in the summer of 2003 at the Providence Family Medicine Residency. It wasn’t long before they recognized their similar interests, and ideas about the delivery of healthcare. The friendship started and has lasted nearly 10 years. They envisioned a comprehensive healthcare office to include traditional and complementary services. Meeting your immediate needs, while offering patients an opportunity to explore their health. A place where delivering value, excellence in care and unparalleled customer service is the cornerstone of our philosophy. We think we’ve found the right balance, and work daily to improve on our concept. We invite you to see for yourself.
