Philosophy of Medicine
I am motivated by the fact that those who travel long distances to medical care deserve a Physician who is invested not only in their physical health but in the health of their community. Growing up with long drives to the nearest clinic, and longer drives to the nearest hospital, the need for rural Primary Care was ever-present in my youth. My medical training has brought me back to rural places, and I enjoy being a part of the solution to providing excellent patient-focused primary care in rural North Dakota.
