Is anyone in Prescott a doctor?

The Prescott Courier newspaper was unable to find a primary care doctor in the area who would accept new patients with most insurance, saying that many primary care physicians are retiring or going to other, more profitable areas of medicine. While doctors may do better financially in other areas of medicine, the article points out that a lack of primary care physicians forces more people to emergency rooms, and drives up the cost of health care for everybody living there.
