Judd Caudell
Hello. My name is Judd Caudell. I'm a Physician Assistant here at Occupational Medicine in Carsville. I've been a PA, or Physician Assistant, for approximately 20 years and have worked in multiple settings including urgent care, family medicine, air force medicine, occupational medicine, public health, and orthopedics. I really like occupational medicine for a number of reasons, but mainly because I think work gives us purpose, and so I really appreciate working in the occupational medicine setting.
Katie Reichert
Hi. My name is Katie Reichert, and I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner. I've been a nurse practitioner for five years, and with the department for a little over two and a half years. My favorite part of occupational medicine is seeing the progress patients make visit to visit, and getting them back to their pre-injury state. What I wish companies and patients knew more about occupational medicine is the wide variety of services that we offer. We look forward to working with you and your staff, and can you keeping them well and working.
