About Carol Dawnetta Curless, NP

Care Philosophy A happy accident brought me to medicine. I wanted to be a veterinarian since I read the James Herriot books as a little girl. In high school, the local family physician hired me to be his receptionist. I hadn't been there more than a couple of weeks when he had me trained to be a medical assistant and I realized how much I enjoyed it. I went to school, got my RN and just kept going. I’ve witnessed miracles. Working at mercy allows me to share those experiences. And I feel like it's through our fellowship with Christ and through His strength that healing occurs. We can help and guide, but ultimately, we're not the power behind it. I enjoy my patients. I want them to trust me and I need to trust them, so I’m very honest and frank with them. And I expect them to be with me. We decided together what they want and what they're willing to do for their health. I can't make you healthy. I can only coach you into being healthy. It's a joint effort. We choose what's best together.

        I felt very blessed to be treated with such kindness and professional. I really feel like they cared about me the patient and it meant a lot and I just want to say God bless to your teen and thank you for being there for me.
