Hammer, Jordan, Layne

Family medicine kind of chose me. I thought for sure I was going to do pediatrics, and then I did my two family medicine rotations and I was like, nope, that's it. I like seeing all the different age groups. It's a really unique specialty because you have the time and ability to sit down and actually get to know the patients and build that rapport. That benefits their care because you're able to do what's best for that person as an individual.

I always had an interest in healthcare at an early age and have a strong desire to help others. I love being able to build relationships with my patients and walk through all seasons of life. No day looks the same to me as a family medicine physician assistant. With my nutrition background I take a lifestyle approach. I empower and educate my patients to take ownership of their health. As a provider, I want my patients to know that they will be treated with dignity and respect. I treat my patients as if they are a part of my family. I focus on treating the whole person by addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs of my patients.
