Mesa View welcomes new full-time Internal Medicine physician to Mesquite!
Mesa View Regional Hospital is pleased to welcome Joseph J. Jeppson, D.O., as an independent member of the medical staff. Certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine and fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Jeppson and his family are no strangers to southern Utah and Nevada. “I am looking forward to serving the medical needs of this fine community,” commented Jeppson. “This is a good opportunity to practice medicine and raise our family in a more rural environment,” he concluded.
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, UT, Dr. Jeppson earned his medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. He then completed his internship and residency in Las Vegas, NV. Since then he has worked in a variety of settings including; primary care, occupational medicine, urgent care and most recently as a full time Hospitalist in Hawaii.
Dr. Jeppson relies on patients’ impressions and information to get a complete picture of their health condition. A firm believer in open communication between doctor and patient, he encourages feedback on how patients feel and what they are experiencing. Coupled with test data, this knowledge enables him to pursue the best possible outcomes for his patients.
As a third generation physician, his family played a pivotal role in his career choice. Both his father and grandfather were physicians, giving him a lifetime of interaction with the medical field. However, it wasn’t until he was on a mission in South America, that he became inspired to devote his life to medicine.
He and his wife have five children. When he is not seeing patients or spending time with his family, Dr. Jeppson enjoys faith activities, rugby and a wide variety of outdoor recreation events.
“Dr. Jeppson is an accomplished physician and a welcome addition to our medical staff,” said Patty Holden, CEO for Mesa View Regional Hospital.
Dr. Jeppson is now accepting new patients at Mesa View Medical Group, 1301 Bertha Howe Ave. Suite #1, 702-346-0800, www.Mesaviewmedical.com.
