Your health is your gift to develop, maintain, treat, or ignore; but it is what you will live and die with. How you choose to go about the living and dying – life with all of its ups and downs– is what Dr. Ross would like to help you with. He has traveled and lived around the world, but his medicine is based in his straight-forward, common-sense, North Idaho upbringing.
If you would like to have a doctor be your doctor and think first and foremost of your needs and understand what is important to you, and then take all the time he needs to, to explain what all the options and science mean, Rawhide Health may be just the place for you.
Dr. Ross understands that your choices are just that, his advice is also just that.
