Treatment Philosophy
"Working in medicine requires developing a partnership between patient and provider. Each patient is an individual and deserves a treatment plan which takes into consideration their specific preferences and needs."
Special Interests
Working with patients to investigate the source of their medical/pain issues. Using holistic approaches to treating patients.
Professional Journey
"After working as a Veterinary nurse and surgical technician, I became involved in preclinical medical trials at a university hospital. It was there that I learned of the P.A. profession and how being a P.A. could allow me to help people." Donna returned to school (with her husband's encouragement and support) to study for her P.A. certification.
I have always had a passion to help people and animals, so choosing one career was difficult for me. I considered teaching, social work, nursing and veterinary medicine. I ultimately got to do both, and each have been valuable experiences.
