Where surgery happens
Patients seen in Rawlins have their surgery at Memorial Hospital of Carbon County — the same town, the same team you already know. You don't get sent somewhere else for the operation.
When Dr. Allred isn't in town
Chanel Thrasher, NP is in Rawlins five days a week, seeing patients between Dr. Allred's visits and assisting him in surgery. You don't have to wait for a clinic day to be seen.
If you might need surgery, this is the fastest way to get it. Start with Chanel Thrasher. She'll examine you, order the imaging that week, and call Dr. Allred directly with the films in hand. If it needs to happen soon, surgery gets scheduled — you don't wait for his next visit to get on the calendar. If you'd rather sit down with Dr. Allred face to face first, she'll put you on the schedule for his next clinic day.
Who comes to the Rawlins clinic
Patients drive in from Rawlins, Sinclair, Saratoga, Encampment, Hanna, Elk Mountain, Baggs, and from across Carbon County — close enough that a follow-up visit doesn't cost you a whole day on the highway.
