Profile

She received her medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine. "I became frustrated with the current healthcare system. The pressure to see a lot of patients in a short period of time left me feeling quite overwhelmed. The increased burden of paperwork and insurance regulations resulted in my professional burnout. Now, I am able to spend more time with my patients and really get to know them. My patients have become like family."
