Welcome, Katherine Moon ARNP
Katherine Moon, ARNP is set to begin practicing at Lacamas Medical Group on December 1, 2010.
Katherine is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. She began her professional career as a Bachelors degree prepared RN working in various settings including Medical/Surgical, Orthopedics, Neurological, Telemetry, Pediatrics and Newborn ICU. She loved all kinds of medicine and all ages of patient. Thus, it was no surprise when she completed her Masters of Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 1996. As a primary care provider in family medicine she has the option to care for patients of all ages and with various health issues from prevention to complicated disease processes.
Katherine taught Nursing fulltime at Salt Lake Community College for 6 years and then left the teaching setting to practice on a full time basis as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Since that time, she has worked in various settings including family practice, occupational medicine, urgent care and internal medicine.
Her areas of interest include Hypertension, Diabetes, Pre-Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, Metabolic issues, Lipidology (cholesterol control) and Preventative Health for both men and women of all ages. The truth is, she really enjoys all kinds of medicine. She loves teasing out an answer to any medical issue. Katherine’s philosophy of medicine is that she is treating the patient, not the lab or the textbook. Providing individualized care, based on sound medical principles, is her strength.
Katherine and her husband moved to Vancouver in 1998. Katherine’s personal interests include her husband, children (she has three at home), grandchildren (her third is due December of 2010), family and friends! She is fun loving and tries to make everyday responsibilities enjoyable! If she could get away to any location it would be to a quiet retreat in Hawaii where she finds pure relaxation!
Katherine is excited to begin treating you in her new Camas location. Call today to schedule your appointment. 360-838-2440.
Dr. Dino Ramzi Joins Lacamas Medical Group
Dr. Ramzi was raised in Montreal and received his medical education at McGill University. He interned at St. Mary’s Hospital Centre and completed a Family Medicine residency at Montreal General.
Dr. Ramzi came to the US in 1996 to take a teaching position at Emory University and subsequently obtained a Master’s in Public Health. He became the medical director at Community Clinic, Inc. in Rockville, MD, in 2005. Dr. Ramzi joined Lacamas Medical Group in 2010.
Dr. Ramzi’s approach to patient care is patient centered— that is, to ethically combine the best scientific evidence available with the patient’s particular circumstances to come up with a recommendation to improve overall wellbeing.
Dr. Ramzi and his wife moved to the Northwest in 2008. They live in Camas where they enjoy exploring the community, music, literature, and travelling. They love living in the most beautiful place they have ever visited and can frequently be found eating out around town. They both volunteer at the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington.
The Times, They Are A-changin’
Toward the end of March, there will be some staff changes, here at Lacamas Medical Group. Dr. Dhingra has decided to pursue opportunities closer to her home. We fully support her decision, as she will be able to spend more time with her family. She will be missed by her patients and co-workers, but we wish her the best.
Of course, this leaves a spot open for a new full time provider. Dr. Dino Ramzi will join LMG on March 29, 2010. We think that that he will be an excellent addition to LMG, and look forward to getting to know him.
