I am a board-certified physician, specializing in family medicine. My professional interests include pediatrics, newborn care, adolescent health, women's health, geriatrics and in-office procedures.
Hometown: Hastings, MN
Best part of my work: Helping patients make changes for a healthier lifestyle, getting to know entire families, seeing people in follow-up and talking with and learning about patients.
Why I became a physician: My first exposure to being in the hospital was accompanying my father on pastoral visits. I loved being in the medical environment and around medical professionals and knew I wanted to be a physician. I love science and relating to people, so this was a perfect blend of my strengths.
What I tell my friends and family: Wear sunscreen. Being a doctor is a privilege, medicine is an art and a science. Seek out a doctor who is well trained, compassionate and thoughtful. Write down your questions and concerns and bring the list to your visit. Show it to your doctor. Be an advocate or bring along an advocate to make sure you get the best care.
Favorite health tip: Keep moving! Exercise is important.
Practice philosophy: Care and compassion.
