Drake A. Gashkoff, MD

I treat every patient as if they were a mem­ber of my own fam­i­ly. My goal is to make sure our com­mu­ni­ty, friends, fam­i­ly and neigh­bors are at their best so they can live the life they want to live. I believe in using evi­dence-based med­i­cine to achieve these goals. It’s very impor­tant to me that we tack­le the chief com­plaint in the moment, but also carve out a path for pre­ven­tive med­i­cine to keep the future health of the patient at its absolute best. I also enjoy pro­vid­ing edu­ca­tion to help patients bet­ter under­stand their exist­ing med­ical con­di­tions. I strong­ly believe that patient edu­ca­tion improves the doc­tor-patient rela­tion­ship and ulti­mate­ly results in bet­ter care and outcomes.
