About The Provider

As a certified physician assistant in primary care, Kristen looks forward to creating long-term relationships with her patients and improving their health and wellness through all stages of their lives. She was inspired to pursue medicine by her desire to help others and her love of science. 

Kristen provides care for adults ages 18 and older. Her services include acute care, (such as colds, minor infections and sprains) chronic care (such as diabetes and high blood pressure), annual physicals, mental health care and more. Kristen’s compassionate approach helps patients feel comfortable and supported for all their health and wellness needs. 

When she’s not busy practicing medicine, Kristen enjoys spending time with her husband, two children and their rescue dog participating in activities such as hiking, camping and cooking.
