Ella Kathleen Barber, PA - Mercy Clinic Orthopedics-Sunset Hills

I?ve always had an interest in medicine and wanted to be a provider. You're given certain talents and gifts, and those and my life experiences led to being a physician assistant, sharing the healing power of Christ through caring for the sick. My passion for caring for people comes from how I was raised. Many in my family, including my wife, are health care providers. Seeing them work and hearing their experiences motivated me to pursue medicine. I chose primary care to care for the whole person. I like providing a continuity of care. When you see your patient over months and years it lets you know that patient better than anyone else, from a medical perspective. I'm excited about working in this community. There?s a lot of need and potential to have a significant impact. I want people to know I'm going to provide the best care that I possibly can and treat them how I?d want to be treated. They?re in caring and competent hands.
