The Grand Valley left a mark on Dr. Sherman Straw after his first visit to the area as a youngster. Around preschool age he remembers being with his grandmother who came to the area to buy fruit. After completing Medical School at the University of Arizona he decided to make the Grand Valley his home. Teaching young doctors family medicine through the St. Mary’s Residency Program has been a passion of Dr. Straw’s for many years. He now is joining Family Health West Primary Care to continue practicing the full scope of medicine with all age range patients. He also enjoys turning complicated science and health into understandable nuggets for everyone to learn and know more. Dr. Straw highly values his patient relationships and takes an educational approach to health and wellness improvement. Dr. Straw is proud to be part of the Family Health West Primary Care team and looks forward to meeting you!
