Biography: I specialize in women's care and provide a spectrum of services to reproductive-age women. This could include a first gynecologic visit, prenatal care and delivery, contraceptive counseling, annual well exams for premenopausal women, management of heavy menses, menopause, surgery and more! I have a special interest in gynecologic surgery, as well as advanced laparoscopy and minimally invasive surgery. I attend annual meetings and advanced surgical courses to remain up-to-date with the latest information regarding women's health and to perfect my surgical techniques. This allows me to provide the best care for my patients. I enjoy getting to know patients and providing care in order to assist them in maintaining a healthy active lifestyle.

Care Philosophy: Dr. Gustafson™s favorite part about being an internal medicine physician is forming long-term relationships with patients. She loves the moment when a person finally reaches their goal weight or has their depression/anxiety under good control. Until that point, she enjoys working with people on small steps that add up to big health improvements over time. Internal medicine is about chronic and complex disease management " hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression/anxiety, migraines, arthritis, kidney disease, asthma/COPD, liver disease and dementia are Dr. Gustafson™s bread and butter. She treats the whole person so that the diuretic used for heart failure does not cause kidney failure. Patients can be taking 12+ medications and Dr. Gustafson™s job is to make sure those medications are necessary, well-tolerated, working well and are appropriate given other medications/allergies. As a self-professed nerd, she enjoys the challenge of medicine. Dr. Gustafson™s patients can expect comprehensive care from a thoughtful and caring doctor.
