What do you love about the Palouse?
“My wife and I were first attracted to this region for all the outdoor activities that it offered (especially the fishing), the beauty of the area, and really love the small town atmosphere within the Palouse and LC Valley. It is truly hard to find communities like this!”

Personal Information
Dr. Christopher J. Iacobelli was born and raised in Michigan. He attended Wayne State University for his undergraduate education and to obtain his medical degree. He served as Chief Resident during his final year of Residency. Dr. Iacobelli has worked in many different medical environments, including owning his own private primary care practice for over a decade in Michigan.
