What do you attribute your success to?
- I love the continuity of care that can be provided in a small, rural town. From adolescence through adulthood, I am fortunate to help young women understand their maturing bodies, plan a family, guide them through pregnancy and childbirth, and keep them in good health for many years after. The ability to create a lifelong connection with my patients, both women and men, is the most rewarding aspect for me.
