I provide an assessment of pain and information about each patient’s medical issue so they have a clear understanding of treatment options and self care possibilities. By educating patients and promoting self care, patients can take control of their medical condition. I realize the impact chronic pain has on one’s life, that’s why it is my goal to help patients manage their pain so they can return to work as well as improve their home and family life. I am married and we love to travel, camp and go to off-road races. I enjoy needle crafts, gardening, cooking and photography. I also volunteer for my town's planning commission, an Oconto County health assessment program, and a drug task force."
