Saltzer Medical Group is ramping up their Workman Compensation program, with the return of Dr. Howard Shoemaker.

I worked with Dr. Shoemaker as his nurse for several years and when he decided to return to the Treasure Valley, he called me and requested that I come back to work with him. Of course it didn’t take long to answer him.

I’ve been at Saltzer Medical Group for just a few weeks and have met so many nice people. I wanted to get to know as many people as I could before I started woking in the clinic.So far everyone has been great to work with. Saltzer seems to have picked the cream of the crop of employees. The public is so fortunate.

I am looking forward to working with Dr. Shoemaker again and working as a team. Most importantly working with the public and giving them the best care that they deserve.
