About Primary Care

A Primary Care provider is a physician (M.D. – Medical Doctor or D.O. – Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine), nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, who provides, coordinates and helps a patient access a range of health care services.

Primary care is your first resource for healthcare. It’s about having a provider who will partner with you to help you stay healthy and able to live your best life.

Primary care includes health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses.

Benjamin Willford, DO

Primary Care
Dr. Benjamin Willford will be joining William Bee Ririe Hospital this fall where he will practice a combination of Family Medicine and Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, including pediatrics. After completing medical school in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee he did Family Medicine residency in Casper, Wyoming where he learned a passion for preventive care and patient education. He will be using the skills developed during his fellowship at Rocky Vista University in Denver, Colorado to help people with chronic pain to control it better and enable them to decrease or discontinue their chronic pain meds. Dr. Willford also loves pediatrics and preventative care. He is excited to get to know the people of White Pine county and hopes to stay for many years.
