Beloved Family Doctor, Bestselling Author Shares Vibrant Tales of His Early Years Practicing Medicine in a Small Town.

When Dr. Walt Larimore moved his young family to Kissimmee, Florida, to start a small-town medical practice in 1985, he had no idea he was embarking on an adventure that would change his life in ways both large and small. In his book The Best Medicine: Tales of Humor and Hope from a Small-Town Doctor, Dr. Larimore shares a tender and insightful collection of stories that chronicle his passage from inexperience to maturity as a physician, husband, father, and community member.

Like the author’s bestselling Bryson City series, the book is filled with characters colorful and crusty, warmhearted and hotheaded, witty and winsome; these captivating stories glow with warmth, love, and humor. Readers will laugh, cry, and wish Dr. Walt was their doctor.
