The FREE MARKET PHYSICIAN Difference
Dr. Lyman and Dr. Lauren Wostrel have worked with Free Market Physician Founder Dr. Joseph Sheppard since 2018, so when he discussed an opportunity to take on an already established Cassville direct primary care clinic, it was a perfect fit. Both doctors care for patients under Zion Asher Family Physicians and Free Market Physician to continue their passion to care for people in the way they should be.
