About
I am passionate about caring for the whole person. My nursing background taught me to look at multiple aspects of the patient’s life - not just the symptoms he or she came in for. By asking the right questions, I learn what’s changed with the patient’s lifestyle or family situation that could affect his or her condition. Without that broader knowledge, a decision to adjust medication or change the course of treatment may not be effective.
When I care for one member of a family I know it impacts everyone else in the family, and I factor that into the care I provide. I encourage my patients to understand that treatment decisions made today may also have an impact on their health 10 years from now. I respect and acknowledge my patients’ choices and deliver care with compassion and understanding. I believe my patients would say I am always there for them, I care about their well-being and I take the time needed during their appointments.
While I have particular interest in women’s care (and am a nationally certified breast health navigator), I offer a variety of services including joint injections, hormone replacement therapy for both men and women, skin lesion removal, HCG weight loss and more.
Away from the clinic, I enjoy fishing, water sports, reading, travel, and spending time with my family and friends.
