• Family-Centered Care
| This is care based on the idea that your family, friends and work environment all play a role in your health and illness. I make an effort to get to know you and your surroundings to best help you maintain health and well-being. |
• Low-Risk Obstetrics
| Most women are quite healthy when they become pregnant and remain so during their pregnancy. As a family doctor, I am trained to view pregnancy as a normal and happy event. My focus is on walking the pregnancy path with you while looking out for any concerns. Pregnancy complications can occur and, if you have ones that put you or your baby at a high risk for complications, I consult with specialists. The focus always remains, though, on maintaining the family unit of mother-child. I have been blessed in my life with the opportunity to mentor under several excellent obstetricians as well as midwives. I have helped over a thousand babies into the world and never cease to be amazed at the miracle of the whole process. |
• Pediatrics
| As a family doctor, I have received extensive training in normal growth and development as well as common childhood illnesses. I have a special interest in high-needs children, especially spirited ones. |
• Gynecology
| As well as providing preventive-care, contraception and cancer screening, I also provide help in managing most common gynecologic problems. Frequently, these problems have connections with other organ systems. As I am trained to care for the body as a whole, I am able to treat all of the problems together. |
• Well-Care
| I am a firm believer in an ounce of prevention. I'll work with you to address health concerns before they become significant life changing factors. None of us are perfect and my role is to help you improve in areas that are less than ideal. Ultimately, your health belongs to you and, while I'll help you with choices, the decisions are yours. |
• Adult Care
| I have been a family doctor for 20 years. This has given me the experience to provide long-term care for most chronic illnesses. Because my focus is on helping you live with your body and its quirks, I view myself as a partner in your health with you being in charge. |
• Psychiatry
| A significant portion of chronic illness is related to our mental health, either by causing problems or being a result of problems. I have a special interest in helping people achieve and maintain good mental health. |
• Hospital
| I maintain admission privileges at WCHC, and am able to order testing through Mercy Hospital in Iowa City, as needed. |
• Surgery
| I can perform minor surgeries such as laceration repairs, lesion removals and trigger point injections here in my office. I also care for simple fractures and other orthopedic problems, both here and in the emergency room. |
• End of Life Care
| I enjoy taking care of people who have lived a long life. Your life stories and insights are fun and inspiring. I will make house calls as needed as well as nursing home visits. I also serve as Medical Director for Hospice of Washington County. |
