A goal and passion of ours here at Desert River Family Medicine is creating opportunities to deep dive into a topic in order to provide education, collaboration and tools to integrate into day to day life - one way we do this is through our monthly DocTalks where we cover a wide range of topics. We are seeking feedback on what areas people are interested in learning about. Please follow the link below to answer a few questions to help provide us feedback!

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback - we greatly appreciate it!
