Throughout my nursing career, I worked in surgery, assisting with many procedures, from GYN to orthopedics to ENT. Once I completed my NP program, I worked in orthopedic trauma and then general orthopedic surgery. I like to practice patient-focused medicine, meaning all patients are different, and treatment plans should be set up based on that. I am excited to begin this adventure in dermatology and create new relationships with my patients. My hope is that each patient feels comfortable during their office visit and well-informed when leaving.

I love spending time with my husband, son and daughter. Most weekends are spent attending sporting events for our children, nieces, or nephews, participating in 4-H events, or working with animals, prepping them for upcoming shows. Agriculture was a big part of my life growing up and continues as an adult. We are a house divided regarding college sports, rooting for both The University of Michigan and Michigan State University. We enjoy watching college and professional sports of all kinds throughout the year. I also have a huge love of music that I try to share with my children. Finding the newest songs or singing along to some older tunes is one of my favorite ways to relax.

Great first experience
I felt comfortable in the office
The doctor was aware that I was nervous and did a good job reassuring me and was very kind.
Kristen was very professional, friendly and made me feel comfortable. She listened to my concerns and addressed them with warmth and good and easy to understand information. I trust her completely with my skin checks and would highly recommend her.
She is extremely personable and knowledgeable.
