  • Dr. Hamrick arrives at Bea Geiger's house for a routine check up. Geiger is a 97-year-old Columbia resident. Hamrick isn’t your typical doctor. His entire practice is house calls. He doesn’t have an office (other than a desk in his house) and he works out of a pickup. He specializes in geriatrics, and he only accepts patients who are 65 or older or who have Parkinson’s disease.

  • Dr. Hamrick prepares to perform an electrocardiogram test inside Ray Silbersack's home during a visit in March. Silbersack has an irregular heartbeat that needs monitoring. "They like being treated as real life people," he said. "And I like being there for them."

  • Dr. Dale Hamrick discusses Ray Slbersack's irregular heartbeat during a visit in April. Silbersack has been told not to drive and is struggling with that decision. "It would be bad if you had a wreck and hurt yourself, it would be worse if you had a wreck and hurt somebody else," he said. "You would never live with yourself."
