Office Hours by appointment:
Tuesday 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM My passion is in helping others become well and stay healthy. Using my 30+ years of experience and knowledge of family medicine, I’ve created a unique way to fulfill that call to serve — family medicine consulting. This is different than a traditional primary care practice. I examine, diagnose, and treat patients i

n three exclusive capacities: complex medical conditions that affect multiple organ systems; thorough annual physical examinations, including well-woman exams; and family medicine procedures. My expertise is provided without the restrictions of insurance companies or Medicare.

Cardiovascular Risks on Life Expectancy - Hypertension ( High Blood Pressure), Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol), Obesity, Diabetes (High Blood Sugars), and Smoking all increase the number one killer in America-cardiovascular death (Heart Attack or Stroke). Having all of these uncontrolled risks decreases your life expectancy by 10 years as was found in the recent article in New England Journal of Medicine.

Dr. Saxer works hard to eliminate or control each of these risks and his business model can help better than the health insurance world. A patient from his original practice had put off coming to see Dr. Saxer since he did not take insurance. This patient made an appointment with Dr. Saxer recently and was found to have at least 3 risk factors not controlled. Since he could make an appointment at JSFMC that gave him the time that he needed, we were able to work to control these risks and prolong his life expectancy.

JSFMC is a better approach to care (and most patients have health insurance).

July '25 Health Tip - Evacuation of Subungual Hematoma

Summer finds us doing more activities that risk injuring our fingers or toes.

If blood forms under the nail, it increases the pain as it pushes on the skin and nail. Usually if a hole is placed in the nail before three days have gone by, much of the pressure is relieved. Dr. Saxer usually places a digital nerve block (similar to what the dentist does for dental work) at the base of the finger or toe for comfort. The nail is then cleansed and a needle is used to bore a hole in the nail to release the blood and pressure. Most people lose their nail due to the trauma of hitting it so hard. The good news is that it usually grows back nicely.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.

June '25 Health Tip - Endometrial Biopsy

Are you having abnormal va**nal bleeding?

Dr. Saxer can help you.

Endometrial biopsy can be performed in the office and is usually combined with office flexible hysteroscopy. While lying on the exam table with your legs resting in the leg crutches and feet in the stirrups, a speculum is placed in the va**na, similar to a PAP test. The cervix and area around the cervix are cleansed, and a paracervical anesthetic block (similar to the nerve block a dentist places for dental work) is placed for comfort. Usually, a small straw-like suction device is slipped through the cervix for a hysteroscopic viewing of the uterus before the endometrial biopsy is performed. A sample is obtained and the tissue is sent to the lab for evaluation. You’ll return to the clinic one week later for a recheck, as well as to review your pathology results and decide on further plans.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.

May '25 Health Tip - Electrodessication and Curettage (E&C)

Do you have a skin spot that won’t go away?

It’s time to see Dr. Saxer.

Electrodessication is the burning of tissue with electricity. Dr. Saxer has a hospital-grade electrosurgical unit in his office for procedures that require it. If cryosurgery (freezing the lesion) or excision (cutting it out) is not the right option for you, electrodessication and curettage may be the best course of treatment. E&C can be used to treat thicker actinic keratosis (skin lesion thickening due to sun damage) and even early basal or squamous cell cancers. Sometimes resistant warts also respond to E&C. Seborrheic keratosis (those ugly, raised “age spots”) respond better to E&C than cryosurgery, but many physicians do not have this kind of equipment.

Dr. Saxer performs many procedures for his patients to help diagnose or treat medical issues. If you need any procedure, make an appointment with Dr. Saxer. His fees are less than what you would pay through your insurance.

April '25 Health Tip - Concussion
For a mild concussion symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, mild decreased cognition, anxiety or depression, relative rest with reduced screen time and limited activity is recommended for the first 2 days. During this time, light physical activity is permitted if it does not significantly exacerbate symptoms.
Progressive return to normal activity can occur if only mild and brief symptom exacerbation occurs. If symptoms persist for more than a couple weeks, they should be seen.
If there is a loss of conscience, seizure, poor balance, confusion, behavior changes or amnesia, the patient should be seen for evaluation.

March '25 Health Tip - Mastitis, New Recommendations

As I evaluate changes in recommendations for you all as medicine advances, I weigh new information from several sources with prior experience and sources.

Breast milk is considered the "perfect formula" for those who are able to breastfeed. Initial mastitis treatment in the past consisted of heat application, breast massage and frequent complete breast emptying. This does not include the inflammation component of mastitis. Therefore, the new initial treatment for mastitis includes ice applications and Ibuprofen or naproxen and "relative" breast rest while still breast feeding. If symptoms do not improve in a couple days, it's time to make your appointment for me to help you.

I always try to empower you all to be able to treat problems on your own and keep healthy and out of the medical office, but for those times that initial treatments are not working, I'm here for you.

February '25 Health Tip - Plantar Warts - are the most difficult warts to care for since they occur on the thickest skin on our body. There are many different types of treatment. You can begin with Salicylic Acid (Compound W) each day. After it dries, place flexible (surgical) tape over the wart for the rest of the day. As the skin separates, try to remove the top layers. Also, take oral famotidine (the heartburn medicine) at 40 mg twice each day if it does not conflict with any other meds you are taking. You can try this for a few weeks. If you don't feel that you are making progress, keep placing the salicylic acid until it starts to sting considerably. This would be the time to make your appointment to start cryosurgery or "freeze" treatments.
This approach usually works well on warts in other places, too, hopefully without the need for cryosurgery.

Sunrise in the country!
