Charles W. Rhodes, MDĀ As my family physician and my mother’s physician, Dr. Rhodes was always there when the need arose. When my mother was battling cancer in the nursing home, she asked to have her Doctor, ā€œDr. Charlie.ā€ I called Dr. Rhodes and he packed up his medical bag and went to see my mother in the nursing home. These visits made the world of difference to my mother. Before her death, she had told me that she would like “Dr. Charlie” to speak at her funeral. When I called “Dr. Charlie” upon my mother’s death he gladly accepted the call again and gave her eulogy.
Dr. Rhodes is not only the premium example of a family physician, he lives by example of his Christian faith. Heading up medical mission trips for the underserved in the Dominican Republic has been a staple for many years for his medical team.
Thanks, Dr. Charles W. Rhodes for always being there.

He provides excellent education to athletic trainers, sports medicine fellows, and physicians all across the US. His support and promotion of athletic training across the state level is unsurpassed.
