Dr. Mensink of The Practice

Dr. Mensink was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, into a loving, peaceful family. He attended medical school in Edmonton, Alberta, at one of Canada’s top ranked schools. He then moved quickly into a Family Practice Residency at Florida Hospital in Orlando, Florida, where he received his certification and license in Family Medicine. Being a doctor to your entire family is Dr. Mensink’s specialty.

For many years he worked in Emergency Rooms in a variety of hospitals in Southern California. He spent approximately 30,000 hours providing Emergency Room Medicine in both “rich” and “poor” sections of Los Angeles. In this setting he has seen and treated a tremendous variety of problems, illnesses, and traumas. He may not have “seen it all,” but he has seen most of it. He also spent almost 5 years in Neurosurgery Residency and has been working in that specialty here in Bakersfield since the year 2000.

Dr. Mensink has been married to his delightful wife Dorothy for almost forty years, and in their family they have two beautiful daughters who enjoy lives out on their own. Alongside his Doctorate in Medicine, Dr. Mensink is an ordained minister living first to serve the body of Christ and all who need him.

Dr. Mensink’s dream was to start a “primary care facility” of “family practice medicine” to meet the needs of the people of Bakersfield who can not afford other types of medical care, do not have medical benefits with their employer, or were laid off work and need something until they are employed again. The Physicians at The Practice can provide families with pediatric care, family care services, even urgent care services. Many or most services are included in the price of membership.

Dr. Mensink had the vision to start The Practice

This dream has grown into the reality of “The Practice” that now provides this elite “Concierge” level of doctor care to all types of families: rich or poor, young or old, English speaking or Spanish speaking- pretty much everyone! A membership with The Practice is a tremendous value for individuals and families in Bakersfield. Below are the levels of membership, and the benefits of each level:
