Andrew Dickey, MD - Southeast Hospital

I've always been interested in helping people. I never saw myself in a career where I didn't contribute to the health and wellness of others. I knew I wanted to go into the medical field, but I didn't want to go the nursing route, and I didn't want to be a physician. Being a PA was a good middle ground. I get to work in a variety of different specialties, wherever the need is. I do a lot of chronic care management, managing hypertension and diabetes and also upper respiratory infections or orthopedic concerns. I enjoy the variety of different ages. It's fun to see kiddos, but I also enjoy seeing people as they age and building those relationships. Lots of patients who come to primary care have multiple concerns that maybe need to be addressed. Ultimately, I want to provide compassion and be there for the patient, to listen to their needs and see how you can address them.

Primary care is the only medical field that allows you to do a little bit of everything. I really love my days in the clinic because I never have the same day twice, which always keeps things interesting. The best part of my job is forming relationships with patients. It's a privilege to be able to guide them through some of the toughest moments of their lives and share in more happy moments.
