Dr. Robert Samuelson will be the newest addition to the Memorial Regional Health Women’s Health team, offering full-scope medical and surgical gynecology care. Starting June 1, he will assist patients in Craig one to two weeks per month.
His goal is to help MRH provide a high level of care close to home so women and their families don’t have to travel far for their women’s health appointments.
“I’ve always had an interest in healthcare and surgery,” Dr. Samuelson said. “I enjoy practicing in underserved areas, and I knew Craig offered a lot of healthcare options for locals but not specifically GYN care. I hope to bring my expertise to this area for patients.”
