Philosophy of Medicine
"Growing up on a farm in northwest Minnesota instilled in me a strong work ethic and deep appreciation for the people and culture of rural America and undoubtedly this was a huge reason I chose to pursue medicine. However, an even bigger reason was my grandmother was wheelchair bound for over 50 years. As a kid I vowed that if I could help people going through hardships like her in the future I would. I hope to bring this same farm country work ethic and passion for those in need to the patients in my practice."
