New Osteopathic Primary Care Doctor Joins NAH

Dr. Derek Browne, a doctor of osteopathic medicine, has joined the Northern Arizona Healthcare’s primary care office in Flagstaff. He is accepting new patients now. NAH recently opened a newly expanded primary care clinic to accommodate a number of new primary care providers that have been hired in recent months. These new providers join a long-standing primary care team, including physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, who have been helping the community stay healthy by providing exceptional care to Northern Arizona residents and their families.

“Dr. Brown is passionate about sharing his knowledge with patients and is excited to be a part of this beautiful community,” said Northern Arizona Healthcare Medical Group President Pasquale Bernardi, M.D. “We believe in the importance of delivering comprehensive primary care to the communities we serve, and the addition of Dr. Browne will provide more primary care options in the Flagstaff area.”

Browne, who has more than 15 years of medical experience, believes in a patient-centric approach to health care, prioritizing the needs and concerns of each individual under his care. His care philosophy is to empower his patients to take charge of their health by working collaboratively with them to devise personalized, preventive medicine strategies. Osteopathic medicine provides all of the benefits of modern medicine, including prescription drugs, surgery and the use of technology to diagnose disease and evaluate injury.

Browne earned his medical degree from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern University in Glendale and completed his residency in family medicine at the Pacific Hospital of Long Beach in California. He is board certified by the Osteopathic Board of Family Medicine. FBN
