Hospital and Clinic
1000 First Drive NW, Austin, MN 55912Provider's Bio
My practice philosophy is adopted from the foundation of Mayo Clinic, which is that the patient comes first before all else. I put the needs of the patient first and then form my patient care based off the individual needs of each patient. Health care is not a one-size-fits-all model, and each patient will receive their own individualized care plan.
I believe in shared decision making with the patient driving their health care and me as the advocate for their health care needs.
I am originally from Southeast Missouri. I was raised on a dairy farm. Currently, our dairy farm is a third-generation farm with my mother, brother and me running the day-to-day operations and milking 200 Brown Swiss cows. I show our dairy cattle across the country including at the World Dairy Expo.
When I am not on the farm or showing cows, I enjoy spending my time outdoors. I enjoy hiking, boating and fishing.
