About
Philosophy of care
My approach to care is client-centered and multidisciplinary. I try to engage clients in the decision-making process to choose a treatment approach that is supported by current guidelines and also takes into account their preferences and lifestyle. I like to get to know clients and develop a personal relationship with them. I learned this from my physician and advanced practice clinician (AP-C) colleagues. I truly enjoy and feel privileged to be of service to people in this profession.
Why I entered medicine
I have always been interested in the sciences. I enjoy customer service and highly value caregiving. I feel like we as health care providers are able to make a real difference in people's lives and form meaningful relationships. It's a great fit for me. I have family members in the profession and always enjoyed hearing stories about their experiences. My grandmother was diagnosed with leukemia when I was a young child, and her health care providers were like superheroes to me. They had the power to help her, make her feel better and offer her comfort. I wanted the ability to do so for others.
Personal interests
I enjoy music, reading and the arts. I enjoy spending time with my family and my two young daughters.

Comments
"Once I got thru the automated system and talked to a human all was great. Need to get back to people answering the phone!!"
"I think the check-in woman could have been a little more pleasant and had a little bit more empathy considering the situation."
"Kerissa has made the transition of care after my previous doctor retired very comfortable. She knows his patients because she always listened with care. I trust her and that means the world when uncertainty occurs with change. She is a wonderful piece of the practice!"
