Prior to joining Dr. Cousin’s in Bakersfield, James Fuller spent his medical career dedicated to fulfilling the healthcare needs of the greater East Kern County area.

A graduate of the prestigious Stanford School of Medicine, James Fuller specializes in:

Primary Care Services • Geriatric Medicine • Family Medicine • Pediatric Care • Preventive Medicine • Hypertension • Heart Disease • Diabetes Management • Arthritis • Immunology and Allergy • Asthma • Medical Targets • Chronic Disease Monitoring

Whether it’s pediatric, adolescent, adult or geriatric medicine, as a Primary Care Physician Assistant specializing in Family Medicine, James possess unique attitudes, skills, and knowledge which qualify him to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care, health maintenance and preventive services to each member of the family regardless of sex, age, or type of problem, be it biological, behavioral, or social. Through the combination of extensive medical background and interactions with the families, James is best qualified to serve as each patient's advocate in all health related matters, including the appropriate use of consultants, health services, community resources and referrals when necessary.

As a primary care healthcare practitioner James Fullers role is similar to that of any primary care physician, to provide for the healthcare needs of the complete family regardless of age. Additionally, in the event a specialist referral is indicated for the patient’s wellbeing, he makes the referral while still preserving complete continuity of care for the patient.

As a cost effective coordinator of the patient’s health services, James takes his role very serious and knows he is integral to the care provided to the patient. If the patient is hospitalized, his role prevents fragmentation and a lack of coordination of care. This role also allows James to serve as the patient’s advocate in dealing with third-party payers, employers, and others.  James's number one goal is to provide his patients with the best healthcare he can for the most economical price possible!
