Bringing Decades of Surgical Expertise to Fremont County
Fremont County, Wyo. (February 26, 2026)– SageWest Health Care is excited to announce that board-certified general surgeon Dr. Carl Jackson. He is offering general surgery services at SageWest and providing care to patients at the Wind River Clinics in Riverton and Lander.
“Dr. Jackson brings decades of surgical expertise and a deep commitment to patient-centered care,” said Amanda Vick, CEO of SageWest Health Care. “High-quality surgical services are essential to the health of our communities, and his experience will be invaluable as we continue meeting the needs of the people we serve.”
Dr. Jackson has more than 33 years of experience as a general surgeon, offering comprehensive care including advanced laparoscopic procedures, colonoscopies, hernia repairs, gallbladder surgery, mastectomies, thyroid and parathyroid procedures, upper GI endoscopies, and vascular access surgery for dialysis and cancer patients. His path to medicine began after earning a degree in chemical engineering. While working in industry, he realized his true calling was in healthcare and made the leap to medical school – where he quickly discovered that surgery was where he belonged.
“What I enjoy most about surgery is the ability to help people and see the immediate impact of that care,” said Dr. Jackson. “Whether it’s relieving pain, resolving an urgent problem, or guiding someone through a difficult diagnosis, my goal is always to keep things simple and do what is in the patient’s best interest.”
Dr. Jackson emphasizes listening as the foundation of his practice. He works closely with patients to understand their concerns, recommend appropriate screenings, and support long-term health through evidence-based guidance.
Outside the operating room and serving patients, Dr. Jackson enjoys tennis, jazz music, movies and reading. He also has an interest in French and Spanish – though he jokes that Google Translate remains his most fluent second language.
