Biography: In general, I've found physicians to be competent and knowledgeable. It's the ones who demonstrated kindness and empathy - especially in difficult situations - that distinguished themselves in my mind. They shared a respect not only for their patient and family, but for their fellow physicians and nurses. That's the physician I try to be. \n I want my interactions with you to be thoughtful, direct and not feel rushed. I want there to be a high degree of humanity, and I want you to feel like my attention is entirely focused on you. \n In addition to caring for patients, I've chaired the obstetrics and gynecology department at Novant Health Matthews Medical Center since 2018. In 2008, I was named physician of the year at CMC-Pineville. \n I am married to Kelly Meek, who is also a doctor. Our family includes our three kids, Meredith, Caroline and Cooper, and two dogs. I'm a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers.

Biography: When I was just 4, I told everyone I was going to be a physician when I grew up. Throughout school, I always loved science. But I also knew I wanted to work with people. Medicine allowed me to use science in the service of people - the perfect blend of my interests. \n As lead physician at my clinic, I provide very patient-centered care. Not every patient is going to choose the same treatment option, and I always want to tailor their care to fit their needs. I listen to my patients to understand what's important to them. The relationships I form with patients is the most rewarding part of my job. I have been lucky to care for some patients over a very long time period and through many seasons of life. \n I grew up in Ohio and have lived in Charlotte since 2009. My husband - who's also a physician - and I have two teenage boys and a dog, Curry, who is queen of the house. I love reading fiction, cooking and baking. I also love travel and spend much of my free time either planning our next trip or riding my Peloton bike. One of my favorite vacations was spent in Iceland, but I love everywhere we go!
