Des Reid, PA-C
Des was born in Boise and graduated cum laude with her Bachelors in Kinesiology from Arizona State University. She completed her Masters in Physician Assistant Studies from Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and became certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA). Des completed her rotations all over the Greater New England Area, but wanted to return to Idaho to practice healthcare in a rural setting.
Des genuinely loves primary care and urgent care because it gives her the opportunity to form relationships with her patients and grow along with them. She strongly believes that medicine is both a science and an art, and doesn’t believe in “cookie cutter medicine.” Des strives to meet patients where they are at, and believes healthcare decisions need to be made jointly between patients and providers. She is passionate about patients taking an active role in their healthcare, and connecting patients with the resources they need to be successful with their health.
On the weekends, Des has a never-ending list of home renovations that keep her busy, mixed with plenty of DIY projects and Pinterest fails! Des comes from a large family and enjoys spending time with them. She also loves boating, jet skiing, and live sporting events– especially baseball.
