Our medical group has proudly served the Pikes Peak region for over 70 years!

I originally hail from St. Louis, MO, where I completed college and medical school. After that I started my Air Force career, enjoying duty stations all over the world, including USAFA here in Colorado Springs. My time there made an impression on me, so after a few years in southern New Mexico, where I got married and started a family, I decided it was time to move back to Colorado Springs. I am so thrilled to be working with a group that values high quality patient care and I'm looking forward to sharing the splendor of the Rocky Mountains with my husband, children, and dogs. Of course, I'll still cheer for my beloved St. Louis Blues and Cardinals!

6/16/2023 She is awesome! Always concerned about the children and parents.
6/16/2023 Personable, thorough.
6/21/2023 She’s awesome
6/16/2023 Cheerful, enjoys our daughter, considerate, caring.
6/2/2023 Unacceptable long wait time in the exam room (over an hour!!!) and no communication at all about the delay
6/1/2023 This is not my child’s doctor but they did schedule him with her for just a Exam , she was very friendly and very professional
5/17/2023 She’s amazing. She genuinely cares about her patients and has been very attentive to our needs. She’s also very knowledgeable.
5/30/2023 Every time we have an appointment with her, we have to wait at LEAST 30-45 minutes, sometimes longer, to see her. She is very kind and very personable with the kids. She makes an effort to get to know them personally and shares personal experiences with them, which is so great! My biggest grief is how long we have to wait! We always get back into the exam room quickly, see the MA quickly...then wait and wait and wait. My last appointment was one of the first ones of the day- I did this intentionally as I thought, 'surely she's not behind first thing in the morning'. But nope- we waited 40 minutes for her to come in! When you have to take three kids to an appointment (only one had an appointment that morning, but all three had dentist appointments right after across town) and they have to wait in a "boring" exam room for almost an hour, it's total chaos and 100% stressful for mom!! I almost told them I would need to reschedule due to needing to get up to our dentist appointments but luckily she came in right as I was going to go out and reschedule. I understand that occasionally there are things that happen that cause the doctor/team to get behind in appointments, but it is EVERY time. And not just 10-20 minutes behind- we're talking 30-60 minutes behind EVERY time. And nobody has ever let me/us know that she's running behind or how long they anticipate we'll have to wait, but at this point I just assume we'll be there for our well child check up for an hour and a half or more (which is ridiculous for a child in excellent health). I have a child that tends to get anxious when she doesn't know the "schedule" or when the schedule deviates too much so the unknowing and lack of communication on how long we'll be waiting adds an extra layer of stress to all of it.
