    Learn more about Physician Assistants

I enjoy working with kids and young adults. Prior to my Physician Assistant studies and training, I was a high school biology teacher and dealt with behavioral health issues in a different setting. A career in medicine carries the unique opportunity to help others through physical and emotional ailments with communication and commitment. I believe in treating every patient with an individualized and empathetic approach, supported by evidence-based practical measures that lead to the best outcome for their life.

    PA Bentley was so personable and attentive to what I was saying. She made me feel like we'd been friends for years! Totally don't NEED to be friends with my doctor but definitely great bedside manner. Very knowledgeable in her specialty and still very kind and explained everything in layman's terms. 10 of 10

    The MA and PA were so sweet and humorous, in the psych. behavioral area. They made me feel comfortable, and were very upbeat and encouraging! I set up a later follow up appointment the same day, making sure I get them again! Loved them!!
