Primary Care? 

IMG North of the Mountain Primary Care is a small primary care practice; we emphasize developing personal relationships with our patients to help you reach your health goals. 


Our clinicians and staff are your neighbors, your fellow church parishioners, perhaps even your kid's T-ball coach. It often seems the communities of northern Schuylkill County don't get enough credit or attention; our motivation is to serve those communities by giving our patient's the time they need to be heard and understood. We're invested in the community because we're a part of the community.

We work with patients living with Diabetes, High blood pressure, Asthma and COPD, Heart Failure, Anxiety and Depression, Arthritis and inflammatory conditions, obesity, and much more.
