About us

We are a small team of providers, passionate about offering exceptional care to our community and about creating a positive work environment. A rural health clinic, we treat a diverse patient population. From pediatric to geriatric ages, we see primarily orthopedic presentations as well as women’s/pelvic health, adolescent sports injuries, balance/fall prevention, neurologic presentations, and health and wellness. We are lucky to enjoy longer treatment times than many OP clinics, able to dedicate the one-on-one attention that we need for even the more complex cases. Associated with the adjacent Indian Health Clinic, we work closely with the team of primary care and specialty providers to offer exceptional care to individuals in the area with all insurance providers (including MediCal and MediCare).

We are proud to have created a well-respected, compassionate, successful practice, with top priority on patient safety, positive outcomes, and creating a positive practice environment.

We began an Aquatic Physical Therapy program last year, which we will be expanding this spring and summer. A Physical Therapist on the team will have opportunities for involvement in program expansion, of the Aquatic Program as well as overall clinic growth.

Colusa is a quaint farming town, located in the northern Sacramento Valley, CA. We are a 2-hour drive to the SF Bay Area, 1 hour to Chico or Sacramento, 2.5 hours to Lake Tahoe.
