When you join the pediatric team at Sheridan Memorial Hospital, you'll be welcomed by colleagues who share a deep connection to Wyoming and a commitment to the local community. Rather than encountering the transient staff common in metropolitan centers, you'll practice alongside physicians who have intentionally chosen Sheridan as both their professional home and personal community. This team stability creates an exceptional practice environment where collegial relationships develop into genuine friendships and professional support systems.
Dr. Oss, who has been practicing in Sheridan since 2007, brings both extensive experience and deep community connections to the practice. As a Sheridan native following in the footsteps of their father (also a local pediatrician), Dr. Oss offers invaluable insights into the community's needs and expectations. Trained at the University of Tennessee, Dr. Oss combines sophisticated medical knowledge with a genuine understanding of rural Wyoming families.
Your other physician colleague, Dr. Anderson, joined the practice in 2019 after completing residency at the prestigious University of Washington program. Originally from nearby Casper, Dr. Anderson brings both recent training perspectives and Wyoming sensibilities to the team. Together, these physicians have created a practice environment that balances clinical excellence with community-centered care.
The administrative backbone of your practice will be Erin, the office manager who has dedicated 17 years to the pediatric department and 25 years to the hospital overall. As a Sheridan native, Erin brings not only exceptional institutional knowledge but also deep community connections that help the practice run smoothly. This kind of staff longevity—rarely seen in larger markets—ensures you'll have knowledgeable support as you establish your practice.
Your workday will be enhanced by a practice model that emphasizes teamwork and mutual support. Each morning begins with collaborative rounds, giving you regular opportunities to consult with colleagues on complex cases. The practice maintains a backup call system for situations like twin births or complex resuscitations, ensuring you'll never face challenging clinical scenarios alone. This supportive environment extends to the nursing staff, who handle significant portions of visit preparation and documentation, allowing you to focus on direct patient care.
