Karissa Buck, APRN, C.N.P., D.N.P.

I chose a career in medicine to be able to make a meaningful and positive impact on people’s lives. My goal in practice is to meet my patient’s where they are in their journey of health. I look forward to building lasting relationships with my patients and being their advocate as we navigate their care together. I am grateful to be able to give back to my community and practice medicine locally.

I was born and raised in Southeast Minnesota and worked as a hospital nurse for ten years prior to receiving my doctorate degree. I have experience in emergency medicine, inpatient acute care, transitional rehab, family practice, and transcultural and holistic care. I truly believe that treating the patient as a whole is a vital aspect for optimal health. This is something for which I take pride in applying to the care I provide.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending my girls’ activities and traveling.
