Natalie Nyron is a
physician assistant student we currently have through our SEARCH program.
Natalie says “The staff here at Stanton River Family Physicians is
wonderful, Alan Dansberry P.A.is a great teacher, I loved to see him work with
the patients who have told me he is the best at what he does.” She also said,
“there are no bad things I can say about this experience other than it is hard
to see the patients who do not have insurance but we do anything here we can to
help them. Working in a rural area was something I was nervous about at first
but now that I am here I love it because the patients are so close to the staff
they know each other and their families. It is a possibility that I will come
back to the Hurt, VA area when I am done with all my schooling.”
