About Us
Gary Artrip, CNP
Owner of After Hours Family Health Care.
He has over 15 years of experience working in the health-care industry.
Unlike many people in this industry, Gary knows the value of taking the time to listen, talk with, and understand his patients. Everyone is different and therefore cookie-cutter treatment benefits nobody. Instead, Gary approaches everyone's concerns and problems with the patience necessary for the best treatment.
Often, today, you find health-care professionals more pre-occupied with what's on their laptops than with the actual person they are treating. Instead, at After Hours Family Health Care, we use technology, but we never let it replace old-fashioned customer interaction.

Why Choose After Hours Family Health Care?
There are a number of reasons to go to urgent care—for instance, immediate care clinics offer more flexibility than many primary care providers, and urgent care services are more affordable than a trip to the emergency room
But what sets After Hours apart from other immediate care providers in the area? That’s easy: Other walk-in clinics don’t offer the same level of service that we do.
If needed, we do referrals to specialist and provide continuity of care unlike urgent cares.
We strive to provide our patients with the most convenient care experience possible, and with that in mind, we offer affordable and up front pricing.
Locally owned and operated with a focus on you and not your insurance.
Urgent Care Services- We provide urgent care services with the treatment you expect the first time with cost considerations for prescriptions and tests ordered without long wait times.

Our Mission
During a time of increasingly complex health care system, we strive to offer our services to you and your family at affordable prices during convenient evening and weekend hours.
Our goal is to provide quality, compassionate health care for the entire family in an understanding and personalized environment.
Nurse practitioners are formally trained in caring for the sick and possess extensive training enabling them to diagnose, treat and manage many common ailments with the holistic approach of nursing.
In many cases, they perform the same functions as doctors:
👨⚕️ Identify and treat acute and chronic illnesses
👨⚕️ Order and analyze labs and other diagnostic tests
👨⚕️ Prescribe medications.
Doctors and nurse practitioners differ most in the time spent on their respective educations and the types of patients they typically choose to see.
Physicians spend more time in school and conduct deeper study of diseases. Many physicians will identify a specific area or specialty that they have the most knowledge or interest in to pursue as a career.
Nurse practitioners also focus heavily on education. They complete graduate-level courses and spend hundreds of hours performing supervised clinical work. Nurse practitioners see patients at every phase of their lives, and typically don’t specialize in any one area. They function well as primary care providers because their background includes knowledge of both holistic and wellness-oriented programs, which spotlight education, risk identification and preventative care as well as conventional medicine.
