Locations: Marshalltown and East side (and occasionally Ames)
Is there a health area or condition you are particularly passionate about? Getting the prenatal or healthy women’s care they need as early as possible! And sexual health is part of whole- person health!
I am learning Spanish, and I speak a little French, but I am not fluent in either. I love our translators!
I love patient questions! I hate the thought of someone worrying about something, and I can alleviate that worry just by answering a question!! If you have a question- even if it seems ‘dumb’ ask it! (Because it’s not dumb!!)
