Mercy Clinic Neurology – Stoddard, inside Mercy Hospital Stoddard, 1200 N.

“We’ve seen an increase in need in Stoddard County, so it’s great to work with our friends at Mercy Stoddard and get patients the great neurologic care they need without the hassle of making travel arrangements,” Speakman said.  

Mercy Clinic Orthopedics and Sports Medicine – Stoddard, also at Mercy Hospital Stoddard, is led by Dr. Michelle Tedrowe and offers a range of orthopedic services to treat issues such as fractures, sprains, strains and sports-related injuries affecting the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand.

“It’s exciting to bring our high-quality orthopedic care to Mercy Stoddard,” Dr. Tedrowe said. “We often see patients with long drive times. Opening a new clinic deeper into Southeast Missouri hopefully will mean patients spend less time on the road and more time at home to heal and regain their mobility.”

Dr. Ray Silliman and a talented team will lead the new Mercy Clinic General Surgery – Stoddard, located within the Mercy Primary Care – Stoddard office, 1200 N. One Mile Road. At the new location, Dr. Silliman sees patients for surgical consultations, post-op visits and follow-up care.

“Bringing high-quality, low-cost surgical care here is something we’re passionate about,” Dr. Silliman said. “We’re happy to be able to provide that care for our patients a little closer to home.”
