Oroville >> Oroville Hospital has added two doctors to its Doves Landing facility, one of whom is an Oroville native.

Primary care physician Gladys Wyles is an Oroville native, who will be treating patients for a variety of conditions including hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes.

She earned her bachelors degree in community medicine with an emphasis in hospital administration from Chico State University. She took pre-medicine classes at UC Davis before being accepted to medical school at the University of Minnesota.

After earning her medical degree, Dr. Wyles returned to UC Davis to complete her residency and internship in family medicine. She was the first rural track resident at UC Davis which allowed her to practice medicine in Oroville, Yuba City and Marysville while completing her training.

I always knew I wanted to give back to my local community, Dr. Wyles said in a press release. I chose family medicine because it allows you to touch on many aspects of health from dermatology to obstetrics. I enjoy the challenge of finding out what is happening with patients as well as figuring out how to manage their chronic health issues.

Also new to Doves Landing is endocrinology specialist Leena Singh, who focuses on treating disorders of the endocrine system related to hormone imbalances such as diabetes, osteoporosis and pituitary, thyroid and parathyroid conditions.

She has been a resident of Butte County since 2005.

After receiving her medical degree, Dr. Singh pursued a Ph.D. in pharmacology from Tufts University which furthered her knowledge of the use and effects of various medications on the body. This motivated her to specialize in endocrinology and she completed additional medical training with an internship and fellowship at the University of Massachusetts.

I have always been fascinated by the way hormones are released and interact with the bodys systems to function cohesively, Dr. Singh said. When these systems do not communicate properly or excessive levels of hormones are released, medical issues can arise. I enjoy working with patients to determine the best treatment options based on their endocrine disease.

The Doves Landing Multispecialty Practice is located at 2450 Oro Dam Blvd. For more information call 712-2171.
