Jared first became interested in a career in medicine when he was a teenager. “I was in a car accident and that experience helped fuel my interest to work in emergency medicine” he explains. After gaining some experience as an EMT Jared decided to pursue becoming an advanced practitioner. “I decided I wanted to provide a higher level of care for my patients. I’ve always had a desire and a passion for helping people and working as a physician assistant allows me to fulfill that goal.”

Jared enjoys the ability to provide care and reassurance to those who need it the most – and are at their most vulnerable. Jared says that he believes in treating all his patients as if he were treating a loved one. “I try to understand that they are coming to me in a time of need. So I try to recognize that and put people at ease and be as empathetic as possible. Then, I try to treat the physical ailments with my medical knowledge. I believe doing both helps make someone recover more efficiently.”

One of the things that Jared likes the most about working at ReadyMED is that every day is different. “Working here is like solving a new puzzle every day and I love being able to meet and talk with new people,” he explains. In his spare time Jared enjoys being with his wife and family and enjoys camping, fishing, canoeing, and going for walks in the woods.
