Barbara Hartley

Career Story: 

I started a solo practice in Benson right out of residency. I have what is currently called a "micropractice," i.e. there's just me, my RN, and the beagle of the day. The beagles take turns being receptionist. My practice consists of numerous extended families, most of my patients have been with me > 5 years. I try really hard to practice Norman Rockwell medicine. Also am one of 3 hospitalists at local 22 bed rural hospital. For a year and a half was ONLY hospitalist. Not fun
