James W. Hogin, DO, earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at Des Moines University, College of Osteopathic Medicine until graduating in 1974. While in medical school, he worked part-time in the cadaver lab and once out of medical school he was then able to restrict his practice solely to the living. He came to Tulsa, Oklahoma for his internship and residency at the Tulsa Osteopathic Hospital and then on to Oklahoma City for a Gastroenterology fellowship at the University of Oklahoma.  After his fellowship training at OU, he started practice at Hillcrest Osteopathic Hospital in South Oklahoma City in July 1979.  While practicing at Hillcrest, he built and started Brookwood Medical Center in 1983.

 

Dr. Hogin was on the board of the Oklahoma Osteopathic Association and became its President during the years 2003 & 2004. He continued to practice at Brookwood and Hillcrest until his diagnosis of brain cancer of the right temporal lobe in 2005.  Of course, after receiving the diagnosis, and like any good doctor, he went right back to the office to finish with the day's patients.  

 

Board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology, Dr. Hogin is recently retired from his practice and enjoying his life on his land with his wife Linda, his five daughters, and three grandchildren. 

 

Dr. Hogin has no financial factors or affiliations to disclose.
