Kristin Tischer, M.D.

I view my relationship with each patient as a partnership. My role is to listen, understand what matters most to you and make sure you have the information you need to feel confident in your care. I believe the best decisions are made together by combining medical evidence with your individual needs, goals and preferences.

I want my patients to feel comfortable asking questions and to leave their visits feeling heard and with a clear understanding of their options. There is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach to women’s health, and I enjoy working with patients to find a plan that feels right for them. Whether we are discussing preventive care, managing a gynecologic concern or considering surgery, my goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care and to be someone you can trust as part of your healthcare team.

I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and am a lifelong Packers fan — Go Pack Go! I attended the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, where I was a member of the women’s golf team, before returning to Wisconsin for medical school.

Outside of medicine, my wife and I love spending time outdoors and exploring Minnesota, Wisconsin and Canada. I especially enjoy birding and wildlife photography, hiking, golfing, and spending time near the water. At home, much of my free time revolves around our German Shepherd and three cats. I also enjoy traveling, painting and other creative projects.
