Kristen M. Whyte, MSN, APRN

I know that the health care system can be difficult to navigate, especially for someone who doesn't have experience with it. I want to make patients feel comfortable and help them understand what their options are. I try to do as much education as I can so that patients feel included in their own care. I can offer a variety of approaches, but I want to do what's best for them and their preferences.

I like family medicine because I can see the entire range of human life, and I get to work with patients on a long term basis. It helps me get to know people and truly understand what they're going through. With this understanding, I can provide more specialized care because I know what works for them and what doesn't.

Health is one of the most precious things in life. Working to make sure that stays optimized throughout a patient's life is important to me, and working in healthcare provides me the privilege to do just that.
