Appointment Information
Mankato, MN
Hospital and Clinic
1025 Marsh St., Mankato, MN 56001Provider's Bio
My clinical and research focus areas include heart disease in women. With over 10 years of experience in prevention, cardio-rheumatology and cardio-obstetrics, I help address the unique cardiovascular needs of women, ensuring they receive appropriate care. Additionally, I provide tailored care based on sex and gender. I specialize in treating a variety of heart conditions, paying close attention to the differences between men and women.
My strong emphasis is on preventing problems before they start. I diagnose and treat the full spectrum of coronary artery disease, from common issues to lesser-known problems.
I explore the relationship between autoimmune conditions and heart disease and aim to prevent heart issues in my patients, including those going through pregnancy.
Along with practicing in Mankato, I also see patients in the Women’s Heart Center at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. To learn more, please view my Mayo Clinic biographical summary.
