At Life Care, we have worked hard to create a helpful, respectful, and friendly team. We have a positive culture where everyone enjoys working together, as well as spending time together outside of work.

Our team is led by Dr. McKenna Guettinger, who appreciates and respects work/life balance. To round out the group, our practice manager, Jeff, keeps our practice running smoothly and is constantly looking for ways we can improve.
