Marshfield Clinic expands health care services in Rhinelander
Harkins and Thomas to start seeing patients
in Mid-November
Beginning in mid-November, new health care services will be offered by Marshfield Clinic at its Rhinelander Center, located at the corner of Hwy. 47 and K, with Obstetrician/Gynecologist Paul Harkins, M.D., and Urologist Matthew Thomas, M.D., both seeing patients in Rhinelander.
"When we relocated our Rhinelander Center to the current facility, off of Hwy. 47 and K., we gained more space to allow for us to provide more health care services in Rhinelander," said Julie Thompson, Northern Division administrator, Marshfield Clinic.
"For many years Dr. Ellen Parris has offered neurology services in Rhinelander. Now that Dr. Parris' neurology practice is in this larger space, we are able to provide outreach services of our nephrologists (kidney specialists) - and we began looking at what other specialties would be of greatest need for the people in the Rhinelander community," said Melinda Ogstad Vallier, manager, Marshfield Clinic Rhinelander Center.
These providers will continue to be based from the Minocqua Clinic and will be at the Rhinelander Center on specific days each month.
Harkins received his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin in Madison and also served his internship and residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics in Madison.
He specializes in well-women's exams, low and high-risk prenatal care, ultrasound and colposcopy, management of infertility, loss of bowel and bladder support, menopause and hormone replacement therapy and evaluation of menstrual irregularities and pelvic pain.
He has a special interest in pelvic reconstructive surgery and female urinary incontinence.
He is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Medical Association, the Central Association of Obstetrics and Gynecologist and the Wisconsin Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Thomas attained his medical degree from Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, Md., and completed his residency and internship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
He is Board Certified and a member of the American Urological Association.
He specializes in treatment of erectile dysfunction and laparoscopy and is the only Wisconsin physician north of Madison to perform laparoscopic prostatectomy.
