Best Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Doctors in Apple Valley, MN

Working in the specialty of OB-GYN allows me to meld my passions of surgery and primary care to better the overall health and wellness of women of all ages, from adolescence to post-menopause. I strive to create a trusting and comfortable environment to build a lifelong partnership with my patients so I can be there to guide and support them, physically and emotionally, as they navigate their day-to-day lives. Every woman is unique and deserving of quality, compassionate care. Being a native to Minnesota, I take every opportunity available to head up north to experience the great outdoors from fishing to hiking (with my dog Remy Jo), golfing and four-wheeling. I enjoy combining my love of travel and medicine by participating in medical mission trips abroad.

As a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO), I practice a patient-centered, holistic, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating illness and injury. I was taught to think of the person as a unity of mind, body and spirit. Everything is interconnected, so I'm not just caring for a person physically, but I understand they have emotional needs too. Patient and family education is an important piece in the patient-physician relationship. I am trained in OB-GYN and I provide health care for women in all stages of their life including preventive exams, contraception, pregnancy and delivery care, infertility, menstrual issues, minimally-invasive surgeries, and menopausal therapies. In 2014 I spent four weeks in Africa for a medical mission trip, and I hope to go on more medical mission trips in the future.

In my medical career, I strive for long-lasting relationships with my patients. It is a privilege to take care of women as they establish and build their families. Additionally, I aim to provide my patients with the highest standard of gynecological surgery and care. I strive to treat all women with the same focus and care that I would my sisters and my mother. My job as an OB-GYN is to care for my patients not just physically, but holistically. My approach to medicine is to provide relevant, up-to-date information so that you feel empowered to make the best decisions possible regarding your health and wellbeing.
