Hometown: Osakis, Minnesota
I love getting to know my patients and educating them about their injuries to get them back to doing the activities that they love most and partner with them on decision making for treatment and next steps.
Best part of my work: Practicing in a close knit community where patients become family. Having grown up in a small town, I always knew I wanted to settle in a similar environment. Here, I have been blessed with the privilege of getting to know and taking care of generations of families.
Why I became a physician. There is nothing better than being able to do something I love while helping people restore their quality of life and get back to doing things they enjoy. I love everything about my job!
What I tell friends and family: Trust God. Work hard. Stay humble.
