What we see most in Montana

Distance is the disease amplifier.

Three patterns we treat constantly across Big Sky, rural, mountain, and college.

Cold-air bronchitis

Sub-zero winters dry out airways and turn coughs into bacterial bronchitis. Don’t white-knuckle it.

Bronchitis · sinus

Outdoor injury

Skiing, hunting, hiking, small wounds get big when the nearest clinic is 90 minutes away.

Skin infection · UTI

College town strep

Bozeman, Missoula, Billings, dorms and bars are strep factories. Text in, antibiotic out same day.

Strep throat · sinus

The Reality of Montana Healthcare

Big Sky, big gaps in care.

Let me paint the picture. Montana is the 4th largest state by area, but it has fewer people than many individual cities. That means massive distances between towns, and a lot of those towns don't have a single healthcare provider. Some counties in eastern Montana have no medical providers at all. None.

If you're ranching outside of Miles City, or living in a small town between Great Falls and the Canadian border, getting sick means a serious drive. Winter makes it worse, roads close, conditions get dangerous, and you're supposed to drive 60+ miles for someone to tell you it's a sinus infection and hand you an antibiotic?

Nah. Here's the deal. I'm Chris, and I'm a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner licensed in Montana. You text me your symptoms, I evaluate everything, and if you need medication I send the prescription to your local pharmacy. The whole visit is $59. $59. That's it. No surprise bills. No video call, no app to download.

Montana people are tough and independent. But being tough doesn't mean you should ignore a UTI or push through dental pain for three weeks because you can't get to a clinic. Let me help.

How It Works

Text. Diagnosis. Prescription. Done.

Text me at 480-639-4722

Tell me what's wrong. "Sinus pressure for 10 days" or "I think I have a UTI", that's all it takes to get started. I'll ask a few follow-up questions by text.

I create your treatment plan

I'm Chris Woods, board-certified FNP, licensed in Montana. I evaluate your symptoms personally. No AI, no chatbot. Just a real nurse practitioner who actually reads what you wrote.

Pick up meds at your pharmacy

I send your prescription to whatever pharmacy is closest, Albertsons, Walgreens, Town Pump, your local independent. Even if the closest pharmacy is 20 miles away, that sure beats 60 miles to a clinic.
