Best Primary Care Physicians and Family Medicine Doctors in Burnsville, MN

I enjoy being a family medicine doctor because of the great variety of people, ages and conditions that fill each day. I consider the health of a whole person and treat each patient with the best tools available. While I am a family medicine doctor who works with all ages, I do have special interests in teen health, women's annual wellness health, osteopathic manipulation and mental health. I provide care to patients but am not available for new patients to establish care with as a primary care clinician.

After working in a few different specialties, I have followed my heart back to family practice. I love building relationships and creating partnerships with patients and families to help them lead healthier lives. I truly believe that we need to work together to make health happen. My passion is patient education, pediatrics, women's health and preventive care. I especially love working with kids, adolescents and young adults to keep them healthy for the long haul. I also really enjoy educating the next generation of health care providers and frequently have students with me. I love what I do and hopefully that's something my students can take with them into their own practice.

I work as a family practice provider with the Lakeville clinic, providing virtual care to patients via video visits. I enjoy working alongside patients with chronic conditions (such as diabetes) in hopes that we can get them living the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible. After working in acute care settings initially out of physician assistant school, I found that I most enjoy working in family practice as I love getting to know patients and their families and building lasting relationships. My overall approach to practice is making sure my patients feel that they are in charge of their health. I want to know their top goals and work alongside them as we achieve them together.

I am a family medicine doctor with special interests in men's health and musculoskeletal pain. I believe in a team-based approach for practical and effective management of chronic illness, acute medical issues and preventive medicine.

As a family medicine doctor, I enjoy providing care for families in the context of their communities. I particularly enjoy treating patients of all ages, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. I firmly believe that patients' emotional health is just as important as their physical health in determining their overall well-being.

In sports medicine, everyone has their own unique goals and motivations for returning from an injury. I enjoy getting to know my patients and working together to develop a plan to get them back to the activities they enjoy as quickly and safely as possible.
