Kristin Colton

PA-C

My name is Kristin Colton, and I have been a Certified....

My name is Kristin Colton, and I have been a Certified Physician Assistant at Stanbro Healthcare Group for four years. I have been working as a PA-C since I graduated from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2008. Prior to attending becoming a PA-C, I was a Speech-Language Pathologist for five years working with children ages birth through high school. Since becoming a PA-C I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults. Although PA’s are fully trained and qualified for working in any specialty under their supervising physician, we are able to further our education and certification for a specific specialty by obtaining a Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ). I am currently working towards my CAQ in Psychiatry to advance my commitment to and knowledge of my field. I am looking forward to many more years here with the Stanbro Healthcare family.

Louis Guerrant

PA-C

Louis Guerrant joined Stanbro Healthcare Group in....

January 2020. I am pleased to be spending my time as a Physician Assistant here at Stanbro Healthcare Group. Before pursuing my interest in medicine, I spent six years in the United States Army as an Infantryman. Following my military service, I moved back to Oklahoma and enrolled at the University of Central Oklahoma. While furthering my undergraduate education, I worked as a mental health technician with youth and adolescents facing developmental, and mental health challenges in the Accent’s Program at St. Anthony's Hospital. My experience’s there, along helping other veterans with dual diagnoses in the Substance Abuse Clinic of the VA hospital, gave rise to my desire for this line of work serving the patients involved. After receiving my BA in Sociology Substance Abuse studies, I started my PA training at The University of Oklahoma. My Behavioral Medicine rotation was at Stanbro Healthcare group, where I found a practice that full fills the mission of addressing the mental health needs of our community. I believe mental health needs require all encompassing care, involving more than just mental, physical facets of life. I enjoy working with all ages, backgrounds, and life stories in delivering my best patient care.
