I am passionate about providing women with health care which focuses on listening to concerns, sharing knowledge, treating the whole self, and seeing each person as a true partner in their health decisions. From prenatal care to birth, to contraception and women's health care, every person deserves to receive care that is respectful and empowering.
If I wasn't a midwife, I would be a world traveler because I love learning about different ways of living, trying to speak different languages, and seeing different lands.
Something I have learned from my patients is that I am always learning: from parenting and breastfeeding tips, to the differing cultural and religious views surrounding birth and women's health, to the physical and emotional challenges women face in today's world. I am constantly awed by the strength, perseverance, and wisdom of the women I meet every day.
My personal health goal is to eat more veggies!
I am most proud of my two children, Gabe and Ceci. Whenever I look at them, my heart wells up with pride and love.

Doctor was great, understanding, and gave helpful recommendations!
Fast and efficient attention.
I was treated very well and welcomed with open arms
That I got taken care of by the best provider
She cared and showed a lot of compassion
I had my iud removed for having heavy periods for over 2 years. Although I didn't seem like that my hemoglobin was low, however, the provider didn't ask if I wanted to have my hemoglobin checked. Instead I asked the provided if I could have it checked which she did put the order in and it came back extremely low(5.1) I am so glad that the provider called after the result came and recommended that I get blood. I feel so much better after the blood transfusion, but wonder what would have happened to me if I left the clinic without getting it checked?
I felt heard and my questions were answered and the provider was very nice .
Kristin is an exceptional provider!
I feel cared for and listened to.
Care, knowledge & patience during my visit
