On November 22nd, the Chamber of Commerce welcomed DOCS Medical with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Located at 408 Pine Street, DOCS took over the practice of Dr. Jill Schenk who relocated out of the state last year. Some features of the office are: fully computerized health records, in-office PT/INR testing, and same-day appointments for established patients. Most insurance are accepted and they are welcoming new patients.
In June, Renee Wilson, Family Nurse Practitioner, joined the practice. Her sunny personality and ability to put people at ease made her an immediate patients’ favorite. She comes from Fort Jones, where she has also shared a practice with her husband, Dr. David Wilson. Renee enjoys biking, gardening, running, hiking, and camping with her family.
In September, DOCS welcomed the addition of a medical director, Dr. John K. Capos, an ex-Navy Flight Surgeon who came to the area after practicing for several years in the Sacramento area. Born in Chicago, IL, Dr. Capos came to California in the mid 70′s while working as a Naval Hospital Corpsman. He attended medical school at Western University in Pomona, CA, and did student rotations both in the Mid-West and here on the West coast. He served his internship at Metropolitan Medical Center in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Capos believes in treating the underlying cause of medical problems, rather than just treating the symptom. Patients have been pleased with his thoroughness and the time he spends caring for patients. Dr. Capos enjoys living in Mount Shasta, and is looking forward to enjoying the outdoors and our beautiful natural resources.
DOCS Medical Group is looking forward to continuing to serve Mount Shasta with the dedication and caring that the staff has always shown. They are proud to be part of this wonderful community. Contact them at 530-926-3222.
