Award-winning care starts with an award-worthy team.

It takes an incredible team to deliver the kind of personalized, concierge-style care our patients experience every day.

These ladies send texts, calls, schedule, follow-up, and handle the countless behind-the-scenes details that make care feel seamless.

They help make medicine feel personal again.

The award I won last month is a reflection of the standard we hold ourselves to as a team: thoughtful care, exceptional service, and showing up for our community every single day.

To my amazing admin team, thank you for helping us raise the bar for what healthcare should feel like in Wi******er.

We truly could not do this without you.

📣 You’re Not Crazy: Perimenopause & Menopause 101.

We agree - with all the wellness influencers and info on social media it’s hard to cut through the noise and find the truth, especially about confusing topics like perimenopause and menopause!

We’re solving that problem for you. Join us for a relaxed evening with a local menopause specialist to learn what’s what from a reliable, educated, actual medical professional. She’s here to bring clarity and calm to this topic!

Have questions?
• Am I in it? Near it? Through it?
• Early stage? Late stage?
• Do I need to care?
• Does it impact more than my libido?
• What about my bones?
• Is it safe?
• What can I do about it?
• What does the research really say?

⭐️ We’ve got the answers for you! ⭐️

This is one time only, free event- she’s local, she’s highly educated, and trust us, you just need to hear this.

Seats are limited. Get registered up today. Link in bio.

Journal entry: I attended a meeting today I’ve been wanting to attend for a while now. I was there for 50% of the time. So thank you to TopofVARegionalChamber for hosting the Policymakers Series Post Legislative Briefing and keeping us informed as business owners of the policies forming at the state level so we can be make better decisions and choose to engage. Your work matters. Next step - contacting our representatives and using my voice.

As I drove home from this meeting, I thought about how I’ve always been intrigued by public service. In a way, I consider my calling to be a healthcare professional as its own form of public service. I think about how one day it could look to meaningfully participate. How the impact and influence of one can provide incredible good or catastrophic collapse for the community’s resources. How having influence on the proper stewardship of resources would be a challenge, but a necessity to preserve what is. What an opportunity to be a positive agent of change…maybe I’m a dreamer, that’s true, but our country was built by dreamers no? How one day, I’d like to stay for the whole meeting.

For now, I choose to attend 50% so I can attend to the greatest public service of all - being an engaged, present and loving parent. Raising children who have a strong foundation of faith, family, and freedom. Children who will be the future public servants in their own right. Reminding myself that being a parent is not my 2nd job, it’s my most important work. And it is hard work, but society desperately needs it and I desperately need it. Being a parent fuels me. So I choose the juggle of being a mom & a being a business owner - living in the middle of my dreams of having the chance to do both - what a gift.

Maybe in the future I’ll be involved in formal public service, maybe I won’t. But for now, I’ll dip my toes in water and check the temperature, while I hold my sleeping littles as much as possible. They are my greatest joy.

To everything there is a season. But one thing holds true, living a life of service matters. How are you serving in this season?

Colorectal cancer isn’t just an “older adult” disease anymore.

According to the American Cancer Society, ~1 in 23 men and 1 in 25 women will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime, with ~158,000 new cases diagnosed each year in the U.S.

Even more concerning: it’s now the #1 cause of cancer death in adults under 50, with cases in younger adults rising ~3% per year.

The good news? When caught early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable—with survival rates around 90–95% in early stages.

Lower your risk:
✔️ Get screened starting at 45 (earlier if high risk)
✔️ Eat more fiber, less processed/red meat
✔️ Exercise regularly
✔️ Avoid alcohol + avoid smoking

Early detection saves lives. Don’t wait.

Honored and grateful. Last night, surrounded by my team and some incredible people from our community, I was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the and while my name is on the award, this recognition truly belongs to our incredible community and patients.

When we launched Smartypants Medicine, the vision was simple: build a primary care practice we would want to be a part of ourselves! It should be personal, accessible, affordable, beautiful, and built around relationships - not rushed, expensive, cold, inconvenient or full of insurance paperwork.

Now every day we get to care for amazing people in our community in a way that better suits us all. This award is a reminder of why we do what we do.

Thank you to our patients, our partners, and the community that continues to support a better way to experience healthcare.

The best is yet to come.
