La Paz Medical Services recruits new physician
Brett S. Gochnour, D.O. was recently hired as a
full time physician for La Paz Medical Services.
Dr. Gochnour is Board Certifi ed in Family Prac-
tice and Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. He
is a graduate of Touro University College of Os-
teopathic Medicine and completed his internship
and residency in 2006 at Moberly Regional Medi-
cal Center in Moberly, Missouri.
"Recruiting a full time physician for the Quartzsite
Clinic has been a priority for me," said Kevin
Brown, CEO, "I believe Dr. Gochnour will be an
asset to the Quartzsite community."
Dr. Gochnour moved to our com-
munity with his wife and three chil-
dren from Idaho. He was very inter-
ested in leaving the cold and moving
to the desert. His mother also spends
her winters in the area. Though only
recently relocated to Arizona, he's
already a Cardinals fan. Other in-
terests include spending time with
family, camping, 4-H and volunteer-
ing as a Boy Scouts leader.
