Podiatrist - Cherokee County has none in private practice. One podiatrist works for the Cherokee Nation. Diabetic patients have a high need for foot care. The Muskogee physician serving this county no longer comes here. This service is needed considering the increase in skin cancers and lesions of the skin.
Some patients go to Tulsa and others have to go to Tulsa .
Oral Surgeon - Oral surgery patients now have to go to Tulsa but the need is too little to support at Tahlequah City Hospital. Urologist - There is enough demand to justify a full time Urologist. O Family Care Physicians - We have less of these physicians and more demand. O Nurse Practitioners - Effective with a collaborative relationship with the physicians. Pediatrician - Need will be filled when second physician establishes practice in town.
