About Chris Bolander, DO
Prior to medical school, I worked in a variety of healthcare settings, so I understand the many types of patients and treatment needs that come to primary care.

I guide patients to lose weight and manage diseases using healthy habits, and medicines when necessary.Philosophy of care
