Now Accepting New Patients

Your health is not a set of symptoms to manage—it’s a story worth listening to.

At the practice of Debbie Paxton, DO, you are more than a diagnosis. As a board-certified osteopathic physician in Rapid City, I treat the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—with the same care I would give my own family.
