     "Dr. Arouse has done an amazing job bringing Nurse Practioners and Physicians Assistants into his practice. Because of the fact that they are an extension of Dr. Arouse, the office staff have the ability to fit my children in for those unexpected sick visits and I know my children will receive the same friendly, caring and competent care that they would receive when seeing Dr. Arouse himself."        - Toni P.
