MenstrualDisorders near Hastings, MN

Biography: 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.

Biography: 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.

Biography: I love being an OB-GYN because it allows me to care for my patients throughout their lives. I enjoy the breadth of practice, including puberty, contraception, high- and low-risk pregnancies, abnormal periods and fibroids, as well as menopause and beyond. I am privileged to care for patients during the most impactful and momentous events of their lives. I strive to care for my patients as I would my own family members, and I believe in well-informed, shared decision making that is founded in evidence-based practice.

Biography: I practice general obstetrics and gynecology. I see patients ranging from adolescence to old age and help patients with everything, including routine well-woman visits, STI exposure, pelvic pain and vulvar diseases. During appointments, I try to educate patients on their own health and help them achieve whatever goals they have set for themselves. I believe in treating the whole person, not just their medical condition.
