Southwest Medical is expanding its local provider team with two new additions in adult medicine. These hires are intended to address the increasing demand for primary care services across the Las Vegas Valley.

Why it matters

As the valley population grows, local healthcare providers face ongoing pressure to maintain appointment availability and reduce wait times for patients. Adding new staff helps bolster capacity at existing clinics operated by Optum Nevada.

These additions join a workforce of 350 local healthcare providers operating across the Optum Nevada network. The system currently manages 15 primary care locations, six urgent care centers, and two outpatient surgery centers throughout the region.

The details

Dr. Jacob Davis is now seeing patients for adult medicine at the Eastern Healthcare location at 4475 S.
