Erin R McNeely, MD - Community Care Center

As a practicing physician for over 25 years, I have found that medicine is not a precise science. While it is important to keep current with the latest evidence, there is usually more than one option when ordering diagnostic tests or prescribing treatments. My role is to provide my patients with options to choose from that are supported by best evidence and to be present at times when my patients feel vulnerable due to a health condition.

I enjoy working in partnership with my patients. I listen to their concerns and ask about their goals and expectations. Whether their goal is to hike Mt. Moosilauke or to play with their grandchildren, I want to be help them get back to what brings them joy and returns them to the life they want. Quality of life is important! Recovering from an injury can take time. If a patient feels discouraged about their progress, I can help show them how far they’ve come by referring them back to their own statements about how they were feeling earlier in treatment. By using patient-reported outcomes, I can say, “This is where you were, and this is where you are now” so they can clearly see their progress. My patients and I work collaboratively to help return them to the highest level of function possible based on their health issue and the evidence-based treatment options.
