With over 30 years of medical experience, Dr. Mentel’s approach to patient care is to always listen to the patient. In his words, “The patient understands their illness better than anyone else, because they live it.” His passion for Addiction Medicine stems from his work with pregnant patients with co-occurring substance use. Dr. Mentel realizes the power of non-stigmatized evidence-based treatment. Watching young mothers manage their substance use is not only a game changer for the patient, but it also changes the future trajectory of their children. He is now fully dedicated to practicing Addiction Medicine with the focus being not only being the individual’s recovery, but also on the family’s recovery.

Upon completion of his National Health Service Corps commitment, he then completed a Fellowship in surgical Obstetrics and Gynecology. Since completing his formal training, he has served as the Department Chair of Family Medicine at Bozeman Health and as Department Chairmanship of Family Medicine at Community Medical Center in Missoula.
