Doctor Dave

David Ores isn't your typical MD. And that's not just because he's covered in tattoos and drives a Harley. Unlike most doctors, Dr. Dave's practice provides general medical care and other community medical services for the working poor and people without any health insurance. We talk with him about his upstanding work in the community, as well as the stereotypes that come with being a tattooed professional.
