"Like you, I am tired of being treated as a number. The longer I have been in healthcare, the more I realize that electronic records, "Meaningful Use Data Collection" and focusing on a "Drive Through Mentality is ruining medicine". Kindness and true compassion has taken a back seat to government regulations and speed. I got into healthcare to help people make the best of their lives by providing a path to Health, Vitality and therefore Happiness. As Synergy Complete Healthcare's founding owner, I’ve introduced Direct Primary Care to our area in Kansas to help prevent illness and give people the access to care and tools they need to lead a healthy, meaningful life. Because I have also always loved the science of medicine, focusing on the root cause of problems is enjoyable to me. I naturally gravitated to Functional Medicine and am now working toward a certification in the most exciting frontier of medicine available. I love nothing more than to share my knowledge with my patients and help them achieve maximum health. At Synergy, I talk with my clients to learn what their needs are and together we formulate a plan of care. For some, traditional medicine works best but for others, preventative medicine, and anti-aging therapies are most appealing. I use a holistic approach to family medicine to treat both chronic and urgent health conditions, I provide both men's and women’s health, science backed skin care, weight management and hormone balancing. I have over 20 years of Emergency Room experience and 6 years of Internal Medicine and Family Practice. I am interested in keeping people out of the ER, Urgent care and hospitals by being accessible when patients need me. Lastly, in 2014, I opened Synergy Complete Healthcare as a tribute to my extraordinary parents who taught me so much and gave me the values, work ethic and strength I needed to become what I am today. As a caregiver in my home, I watched my parents age and their health decline and then I watched them finally pass. I learned much during that time. As healthcare has become more depersonalized, I saw that needed to move to the community to provide the type of care I helped my parents to receive--the personal touch that we all need to thrive.By the Grace of God, I always will. Qualifications: Board Certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner, MSN, BSN Nursing, BS in Microbiology, ACLS, BLS, Post Graduate Certifications in Emergency Services and Family Practice, Licensed as a Family Nurse Practitioner in Kansas, Missouri Iowa and Hawaii."
