Dusty Rhoades

My background is ER medicine, I was an ER nurse for around 20 years, and have seen things that most people should not ever have to see while here on this earth. Prior to graduation, I was working as a supervisor in the childrens ER at Medical City Dallas. I decided I was ready to slow down a bit, furthered my education, and graduated with my FNP in 2019. It has always been a dream of mine to open my own practice. Having been in large hospitals most of my career, I have never cared much for cooperate medicine. I want to take care of patients the way I want to, not the way I am told to do so. I prefer to take a more personal approach, I guess some might call me old school.

What medicine means to me:
As a provider, you must encompass a level of professionalism. This means possessing certain qualities and traits; honesty, integrity, having morals, and certain ethical standards in your everyday practice. Patients must be able to trust you with their health care, and integrity breeds trust. Patients are unable to receive adequate healthcare without a certain level of trust. They must know their provider is always going to do what is in their best interest, even when it is not easy to do so. It may not always be the answer a patient wants to hear, or the easiest path, but it will adhere to an above standard level of care, one that is safe. A standard of care that I would in turn provide to my own family. That is the kind of care you will always receive from me and my staff here at Rhoades Family Practice.
