I approach each patients concerns with compassion and understanding. Currently, I am a surveyor for the Commission on Cancer and the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. This experience with breast cancer care, coupled with the ever-changing advances in medicine, encourages open dialogue between myself and my patients to discuss the best treatment options and a plan moving forward that meets their needs. The surgical team and I deliver care that is based on new and proven techniques backed by research. Our team prides itself on ensuring our patients have quick, easy access to care, and each and every patient receives individualized, focused care leveraging Mayo Clinic's multidisciplinary breast cancer experts.

I enjoy spending time with my family in the Coulee Region. I also am an avid bicycler who enjoys the scenic country roads.
