Hometown: Des Moines, IA
Best part of my work: At the end of every work day, I know that I have made a difference in somebody's life. It may be alleviating fear over a first pelvic exam, offering support and options for the challenges of an unplanned pregnancy or menopausal symptoms, or delivering a new life into this world. It is a privilege.
How I spend my free time: Much of my time is spent being a wife to my husband of 20+ years and a mom to our four daughters. School and church activities and cooking dinner currently dominate my after-work hours and I love it!
What patients say about me: I have many patients who send their friends and daughters to see me. It is very rewarding to have earned their trust.
Practice philosophy: Our office respects that your health care is an investment of your time and money. While providing quality care, I try to avoid unnecessary visits or tests.
Additional Info: Voted one of the Best Doctors for Women multiple times by Minnesota Monthly magazine.
