"My interest in the medical field was first sparked when I was in high school, by my observation of a patient-doctor relationship. Many years have passed since that interaction which took place at Alpena General Hospital in Michigan; and it is the desire to build and maintain meaningful long lasting relationships that continues to draw me to medicine. After graduating high school, I went on to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor were I obtained a B.S. in Cognitive Science and Biopsychology. Then, I graduated from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Chicago IL with a Medical Degree. I completed my residency in 2010 at MacNeal Family Medicine Residency in Berwyn IL. “A family medicine residency was a natural choice for me given the opportunity it provided to build relationships, and it’s focus on treating people holistically.” It has been over twenty years since that encounter as a high school student. For the last ten years, I have practiced medicine in several different settings giving me a unique perspective to health care and its delivery. During this time, I have seen how a proper understanding of one’s health and quality health education can lead to disease prevention and make a significant difference in the lives of people. However, providing excellent care takes time, patience and requires attention to detail. “I launched InTouch Primary Care from a desire to truly meet the health care needs of my patients.” Now, as a wife and mother of three – twin girls and a boy; I understand the challenges we all face living a balanced healthy life. I consider it a privilege to care for you, giving you the time, attention and personal touch you deserve. It is my desire that my patients can trust me, that they feel comfortable and safe, and that they are reassured by me."
