Services Offered

Dr. Oshnock offers a broad and well-rounded suite of primary care services designed to support the health and well-being of individuals and families throughout their lives. As a family medicine physician with osteopathic training, she approaches each patient as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms, taking into account the physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors that influence long-term health outcomes.

Her preventive care services form the foundation of her practice. Dr. Oshnock places strong emphasis on keeping patients healthy through regular wellness exams, up-to-date vaccinations, age-appropriate screenings, and proactive health counseling. By identifying risk factors early — such as elevated blood pressure, rising blood sugar, or high cholesterol — she helps patients take steps to prevent serious illness before it develops. This preventive philosophy is especially important in the rural and semi-rural communities she serves, where access to specialty care may require significant travel.

Chronic disease management is another cornerstone of Dr. Oshnock’s practice. She works closely with patients managing hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, spinal conditions, and other long-term health concerns, developing individualized treatment plans that incorporate medication management, lifestyle modification, dietary guidance, and regular monitoring. Her osteopathic background also equips her to address musculoskeletal components of chronic illness, offering a more integrated perspective on conditions like spinal stenosis and chronic back pain than many conventional primary care providers.

Services include:

• Annual physical exams and wellness visits for adults and children
• Preventive health screenings and cancer risk assessments
