Taylor Boland, MD (PGY-1)

Taylor can often be found outdoors running, hunting, and sailing or cheering on the Badgers and the Packers.

Nick Squires, MD (PGY-1)

Nick is drawn to the broad scope of family medicine, in caring for babies through seniors, and having a direct positive impact on lives through outpatient and inpatient care. Nick is a native Wisconsinite, hailing from Altoona (near Eau Claire). He earned his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine (New Orleans). Nick's family medicine clerkship in Opelousas, LA, showed him what kind of doctor he wanted to be - one that fosters strong relationships with patients, sees a wide variety of conditions, and performs many procedures. This experience also showed him the benefits of practicing rural medicine and living in a small town. In his patient care, Nick focuses on prevention and follow-up as he works with patients to manage acute and chronic illnesses.
