LOWELL — Effective November 1, 2025, Dr. Caleb Gaston, Dr. Dustin Pope, and Dr. Robert Wilson and APRN Nicole Davis of Apex Family Medicine will join Medical Associates of Northwest Arkansas (MANA). The practice will continue serving patients at its current location under the new name MANA Family Medicine Lowell.
Dr. Gaston, Dr. Pope, and Dr. Wilson are board-certified family physicians who have provided primary care to families in Northwest Arkansas for many years. Joining MANA allows the physicians to maintain ownership of their practice while gaining the support, technology, and collaborative benefits of being part of an independent, physician-owned medical group.
“We are excited to join MANA and continue serving our patients with the same personalized care in the community we love,” said Dr. Caleb Gaston. “This partnership gives us access to additional tools and resources that enhance the patient experience and help us focus even more on what matters most—our patients.”
As part of MANA, patients of MANA Family Medicine Lowell will have access to:
- The myMANA Health Portal, where they can view health records, test results, and securely message their care team.
- Text reminders, digital check-in, and paperless billing for a more convenient experience.
- A wide network of MANA specialists, including endocrinology, asthma and pulmonary medicine, women’s health, mental health, and more.
MANA is an independent physician group established in 1957, with 28 locations across Northwest Arkansas. The group’s mission is to provide compassionate, quality care and to improve the health of the community.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Gaston, Dr. Pope, Dr. Wilson, and APRN Davis to MANA,” said Jason Wilson, CEO of MANA. “Their dedication to family medicine and to their patients reflects MANA’s values and our shared commitment to excellent, patient-centered care.”
