📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
All Star Health & Wellness ❤️
‼️Beginning December 2026, our new business hours will be: ⬇️⬇️
⭐ Monday, Tuesday & Thursday⭐️
8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
I will be available for non-emergent questions by email or the patient portal on the other days.
As many of you know, owning a medical practice in a small rural town without grants or outside funding is challenging. Some days we are extremely busy, and other days we are slow. There is rarely an in-between! This constant “yo-yo” effect makes it difficult to maintain a stable business. This has a lot to do with this decision.
Over the past four years, I have adjusted our hours different times to accommodate our patients, but unfortunately, no schedule is perfect for everyone. Trust me I have tried.
I’m also a wife and mom of three wonderful kids. Between their sports, college, family responsibilities, and running a medical practice, life gets BUSY! ❤️
🩺 What many don’t realize is that a provider’s work doesn’t end when the last patient leaves. Charting, referrals, prior authorizations, lab reviews, insurance issues, and patient messages continue long after office hours. I work in some capacity almost every day.
Unfortunately, insurance reimbursements, unpaid balances, no-shows, cancellations, requesting refills without updated visits, and inconsistent patient volume make running a small independent practice even harder. Hiring additional staff isn’t always financially possible. Free telehealth services also create challenges but again, I will always respect where patients choose to receive their medical care.
There’s no way any practice can compete with free healthcare.
I love my patients and my small practice, but I also have to make decisions that are best for my family and the future of this business.
If our new hours do not work for you, I will NEVER be upset if you choose another provider. Your healthcare decisions are yours, and I fully respect that!
Our business page will soon be temporarily deactivated as we make these changes. This will occur in a few weeks.
‼️‼️Please call our office with any questions or use your patient portal.

Thank you for supporting All Star Health & Wellness for over four years!
➡️ No I’m not giving up on my business. I’m a local and I have put too much work into this business and I will be here for my patients as long as we continue to get support.
I’m simply making adjustments to keep my small practice going in a small rural town, while also being the mom and wife my family needs. ❤️
I’ve been open 4 years and hope to be here many many more years.
Thank you for standing with me and continuing to support my practice.
