I am an internal medicine physician with professional interests in women's health, preventive medicine and geriatric medicine. I offer face-to-face virtual visits for a variety of health services and conditions.
Hometown: Aberdeen, SD
Most people don't know: I played the piano and trumpet in high school and sang in college choir. I love going to hear live music.
It I wasn't a doctor, I would be: a travel writer. I love visiting new places and was an English major in college.
Something I have learned from my patients: every patient has something to teach me!
One of the challenges of this career I enjoy is: finding the best way to teach my patients about their health. Everyone has their own style of learning and communicating.
My personal health challenge is: finding ways to get more activity into my daily life. I skip the elevator and take the stairs!
The best thing health advice is: regular exercise is very important for health and stress reduction. Pick an exercise you enjoy and can share with a friend. I love to bike and cross country ski.

Dr Gusa
My Doctor
The excellence of care received.
Excellent provider
I really like my Dr. she is very thorough and explains things very clearly.
How easily and readily Dr Gusa answered all my questions and concerns.
Efficient and caring.
Answered all my questions. Covered a lot in my well check.
Dr gusa clearly explained and intelligently discussed my results and my surgery preparations while patiently responding to my half-formed and poorly informed questions.
Good
