Florence

After working for many years in a community health center, I realized that it was impossible for me to offer the kind of care I wanted to provide to my patients in that setting - 10-15 minutes were not enough to positively influence my patients' lives.

So, in 2017, I opened my own office to be able to offer patients the time and access they deserve to better understand their medical issues. In this way, together we can develop a plan for them to implement and improve their long-term health.

I learned Spanish in 1988 when I was in Ecuador as an exchange student. It was then that I met my future husband, who is from Ecuador. This is one of the reasons why I have a personal interest in immigrant health - in addition to my other medical interests such as diabetes, mental health, and weight management.

My husband and I have called Northern Kentucky home since 1999, raising two adult children. Outside of work, I like kayaking, swimming, biking and spending quality time with my family and dog. I'm an adventurous spirit, having backpacked in the Smokies, camped in the Boundary Waters, and explored underwater world through scuba diving.

I advocate for staying physically active and embracing new experiences, regardless of one's size, as part of the journey toward improved health.
