“Wellness is to be defined individually,” he said. “Each of us have a unique sense of what makes us well. I work to understand what people value and what they want out of their life and health, and then help them support that concept.”
He is there to guide his patients to the healthiest choices, but also accepts that patients make their own decisions. “I’m here to educate and guide so you can make the best decision for you,” he said.
Dr. Gossett earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and completed an internship in internal medicine with the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals in 2004. He followed with his residency at the University of Wisconsin-Family Practice Center in Wausau in 2009.
“I have enjoyed doing inpatient medicine and thinking through health problems,” Dr. Gossett said. “In the clinic setting, I truly enjoy getting to know patients over time to better understand who they are and what they want out of life and their health.”
Outside of his practice, Dr. Gossett is proud to be a board member and volunteer medic for the Never Forgotten Honor Flight, a not-for-profit organization of dedicated volunteers who fly veterans to Washington D.C. to visit their memorials. He was inspired to volunteer for the project because his grandfather was an aviator in World War II.
Dr. Gossett and his wife have two children. Their family enjoys camping, hiking, biking and skiing.
