Dr. James Chandler PA-C, Ph.D

I knew from a young age that medicine and helping people was my calling. That calling came into practice when I graduated from Southern Illinois University in 2007. I have extensive experience in family medicine as well as emergency medicine. In addition to my civilian career, I am currently serving my country as a provider in the Army.​ ​I love spending time with my wife Marie and our two beautiful daughters Harper & Finley.  Sundays is our time for church and familyRooting for the Cubs…don't judge me that just means I’ll stick with you, even when things get tough!  I am a camp counselor at one step camp-programs for children with cancer.  I enjoy talking everything health, wellness, and fitness.  I currently serve as a major in the US Army.  You'll often find me relaxing on my kayak reeling fish.
