Dr. Devon “Fritz” Kuhlmann, D.O., is a family medicine physician with a strong background in rural and emergency care. He completed his Family Medicine Residency through Sutter Health’s Amador Rural Program, where he served as Chief Resident, gaining broad experience in adult and pediatric care, inpatient and outpatient medicine, and emergency medicine.
