"Roger Cummins is Physician Assistant, Certified in Family Practice. Born and raised in Roseburg Oregon. Roger had various jobs and adventures such as one year at Bell & Howell Electronic school in Phoenix AZ and contract work for US Air Force at Davis-Monthan Air Base in Tucson with the P.J. Program as a Transponder and Nav Tech. Roger moved to Klamath Falls to attend OIT graduating with AS in Business and BS in Diagnostic Imaging, returning to Phoenix for 2 years of resident training. Roger then worked 11 years at Merle West Medical Center in Interventional Radiology and Cardio Vascular Interventionalist. During this time he raised kids, horses and dogs. In 1996 Roger graduated from University of Washington Medical School -MEDEX Northwest and then returned to Klamath Falls to work at Klamath Family Practice Center, joined in partnership and remained at this clinic until deciding to open Klamath Falls first Direct Primary Care clinic in April of 2017. Direct Primary Care clinics are kind of “old school” with a new twist. This allows providers to be available to their patients in a much broader more dynamic manner. The patient base is smaller allowing dramatically more access and time with a provider, such as 45 minute office visits, little to no waiting time, email and text communication and even house or after hour calls!! You know, what it used to be like. Roger encourages his patients to take an active roll in their own health and this style of practice nurtures and promotes this relationship."
