Jennifer McConnell, MD, practices at the Winthrop Health Center outside of Augusta. She’s a family practice doctor who loves to take care of entire families, from babies to grandparents.

Roy Nakamura, MD, practices at Martin’s Point Healthcare in Brunswick. He’s a family practice doctor eager to help his patients feel at ease, so they can share what’s really on their minds. When a patient says “By the way, doctor…”, that’s when Dr. Roy knows the patient trusts him enough to tell the hard truths.
