(Outer Banks Hospital and Medical Group)

October 28, 2022: As we’ve shared over the past five months, The Outer Banks Hospital and Medical Group continues to dedicate considerable resources toward increasing access to care for our community. Our focus remains on “can do” which is why we have great news about access to primary care throughout Dare County.

Five new providers will be joining our team over the next few months. While it will take time for each new provider to fully develop their patient panels, this will enable us to open access for new adult patients from anywhere in Dare County.

For those interested, please call our Primary Care Access Line at 252-449-4540 and leave a message that you would like to establish care with one of our providers. We will return your call within three days to confirm that we received your message and that your name has been added to the waitlist. We are diligently working through the waitlist and appreciate your patience over the next few months as we schedule appointments.

Below is a list of our primary care providers by geographical location. The list includes current and new providers.

Roanoke Island
  • Dr. Cara Sumners
  • Dr. David Worthen
  • Dr. Erin Baker

With the arrival of Dr. Erin Baker, Outer Banks Family Medicine- Manteo is now staffed with three physicians. These providers will be able to restore the care that was disrupted earlier this year, and all former Manteo patients who do not have a PCP yet and want to re-establish care at this location will be able to do so.

Access on Hatteras has not changed and remains stable.

The addition of Marina Turner opens up access for new adult patients from anywhere in Dare County.

  • Dr. Mark Worthen
  • Rachel Stanford, PA (starts December)

The addition of these providers opens up access for new adult patients from anywhere in Dare County.

    So Ronnie Sloan lied about a M.D. coming to Kitty Hawk to replace Dr. Terryberry. We have a P.A. replacing another P.A. In three years the patients there ,mostly from Souther Shores, Duck, and Kitty Hawk have had five different primary care providers and end up with a P.A. Most of these patients are retired seniors that are now starting to require more care. What a disservice the Outer Banks Hospital group is giving the full time residents of the Outer Banks.

    Recently a dear 96 year old friend was 10 minutes late, my fault, for a urology appointment in Nags Head. When her daughter rolls her in the reception area, they were told the appointment was cancelled and she would be rescheduled in January. Couldn’t have worked her in within an hour or something? I’m sorry, but where is the care in this? It’s not that we don’t get good caregivers, it the medical system that won’t allow good care. When was the last time you went to an appointment and is seen within 20 minutes. Sheesh!!
