Jamestown  (JRMC)  — Jamestown Regional Medical Center is pleased to welcome Kayla Emter, DPM, to the podiatry team.

She starts seeing patients on November 12.  Call 952-4878 for an appointment. Learn more at www.jrmcnd.com/podiatry.

Dr. Emter specializes in the conservative and surgical management of conditions of the foot and ankle. She is committed to providing the most advanced podiatric and surgical care possible.

On Wednesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Dr. Emter said, “There are two tenants I feel strongly about when it comes to treating patients. I like to compare my patient care to a sit-down restaurant rather than a fast food chain. It is important to take the time to educate our patients about their conditions and treatment options, rather than rushing them through the door. Patients are more than just two feet. I believe in treating our patients as a whole and as I would like to be treated.”

Dr. Emter joins JRMC Podiatrist/Foot & Ankle Surgeon, Dr. Rachael Renschler, to exceed patient expectations and provide quality care.

Also on our show, from JRMC Marketing, Katie Ryan-Anderson said, this is the first time in JRMC history that the hospital has offered two podiatrists to care for the community.

The addition of Dr. Emter is one of many steps the hospital has taken toward growth. Most recently, Crystal Krapp, APRN, DNP-C joined the JRMC Orthopedics team which includes Drs. Michael T. Dean and Timothy Volk, as well as Pat Walter, PA-C.

Prior to that, JRMC grew in 2017 with the launch of the JRMC Carrington Clinic and the addition of JRMC ENT Dr. W. Thomas Coombe and JRMC Gynecologist & Obstetrician Dr. Bailey Runkles. The JRMC Clinic is also home to Urologist, Dr. Robert J. Bates and Wound Center Specialists, Randy Perkins and Amanda Lausch.

JRMC Chief Nursing Officer and Interim CEO, Trisha Jungles, has pointed out that “This is big news. Seeing our independent hospital grow like this is a dream come true for our boards and leadership teams. We’re proud that the community counts on JRMC for its healthcare needs. She expects more to come in 2019.

She  adds, that onboarding Dr. Emter means she and the podiatry team will be able to offer faster access to care in both Jamestown and at the JRMC Carrington Clinic.
