About Us

Kinetic Medical Consultants was born from a dream to do what we love…taking care of those who share our interest in the outdoors and extreme environments. Our office setting is not a typical medical office. It’s designed to keep you relaxed while we work to “keep you moving”. We look forward to working with your on your career, hobbies, or life’s adventures.
