James Bertsch, D.O., began practicing in 1976 and is certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians. "I originally intended to be a veterinarian, but I was inspired to go in a different direction when I met Richard Keyes, our family doctor while I was in college at Vincennes University. He was very caring with each patient. "My patients should know I am always here for them. Helping others in our community is the thing I most enjoy about working in medicine."
