“I want patients to feel comfortable in sharing their emotional and physical concerns in a non-threatening and non-judgmental environment.

By incorporating a team approach and providing care with evidence-based healthcare guidelines, I hope to assist patients in making the healthiest lifestyle choices” expressed Dr. Meyer.

In regards to her educational background, she originally wanted to become a pediatrician but realized after several rotations in all areas of medicine that she enjoyed adult medicine as much as pediatrics. Seeing a variety of ages, genders and health issues throughout the day makes every encounter interesting and unique for her.

Subsequent to her education, the doctor attained board certification in family medicine through the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM). The ABFM is a non-profit, independent medical association of American physicians who practice family medicine and its sub-specialties.

Family medicine is a medical specialty devoted to comprehensive health care for people of all ages. The specialist is called a family physician or family doctor. A family physician is often the first person a patient sees when seeking healthcare services. They examine and treat patients with a wide range of conditions and refer those with serious ailments to a specialist or appropriate facility.
