About Me

While all types of medicine interest me, I am especially drawn to pediatrics, women’s health, and helping patients with substance use disorders.

I specialize in chronic disease management, well child visits, and IUD and Nexplanon insertion/removal. I want to keep you healthy and active!

Some of my hobbies include reading, running, and checking out local events in this great community with my family and friends.

As a primary care doctor, I work with my patients to help them manage all aspects of their health and wellness and improve their lives.

Some of my passions include helping adults with their chronic health issues such as diabetes, asthma, and hypertension.  I also perform a wide range of procedures.

In my free time, I enjoy long distance bicycling, photography, and traveling.  Wisconsin winters may be a little different from my native Honduras, but my family and I love the Appleton area!

About Me

Life is tough! My specialty is providing a safe and interactive environment in which to tackle difficult subjects, manage daily functioning, or even just to take a moment to say the hard things out loud. I strive to model integrity, compassion and support. Integrated healthcare is a system that not only makes sense, but works to provide overall support emotionally and physically, with a team of passionate professionals working together for you.

Prior to becoming a professional counselor, I had the privilege of traveling to various countries teaching English as a second language. This part of my career taught me the healing power of stepping out of our comfort zones and sharing our individual human experiences.

Currently I am working towards becoming certified in sex therapy through the American Association of Sexual Educators, Counselors and Therapists. I am an avid advocate for sexual health and believe it is an integral part in obtaining peace and contentment for any and all persons. My door is open for LBGTQ++

About Me

Originally hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, I went on to complete my dental school at Boston University and then a one year residency at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital.  After that I practiced at a community health center in rural Virginia, so Partnership is a perfect fit for me to continue helping people gain confidence in their smiles while also returning to my Midwestern roots!

In my free time, I enjoy cycling and spending time outdoors (especially with my dog), and curling up with a good book at the end of the day.

About Me

I became interested in dentistry through overseas medical/dental mission work while I was an undergraduate student. While I enjoy numerous different aspects of dentistry, I especially like working with kids and learning about minimally invasive dental options.

Partnership Community Health Center has been a perfect fit for me as it allows me to work with many kids/families who otherwise might not have access to dental care.

In my time away from the office, I am a busy “boy mom” learning about Nerf guns, Legos, and slime making.  I also enjoy travel, movies, and trying new restaurants with family and friends.

About Me

I’m originally from a small town in Northern Michigan.  I became interested in dentistry to help instill confidence in patients through their smile.  It brightens my day to see my patients be satisfied with their treatment and feeling like they can accomplish anything.

In my free time I enjoy reading, tending to my vegetable garden, hiking and spending time with my dog.

About Me

My philosophy on oral health is inspired by personal discovery that holistic health starts in the mouth.  I enjoy sharing my knowledge of this mouth and body connection with my patients.

I believe that change in behavior starts to shift when we fully grasp the consequences.  I treat my patients as equal partners and hold them accountable for their role in the treatment process.  Working for Partnership is a natural stepping stone in my dental hygiene career, helping to fill a tremendous need in the community.

Originally from Poland, I lived in Chicago for 22 years, where I practiced dental hygiene for nearly 14 years.  I moved to Appleton in hopes to enjoy a more peaceful life and I have not been disappointed.

About Me

I was born and raised in central Michigan. I moved to Wisconsin in 2019 after completing my dental training in Kentucky and Pennsylvania. My goal as a dentist is to create a warm, welcoming environment to keep my patients comfortable and to show them that visiting the dentist doesn’t have to be an unpleasant experience.

In my free time, I enjoy playing with my dog, Shenzi, and exploring Wisconsin’s many state parks and breweries.

It was a very meaningful work to help patient relieve toothache. Partnership Community Health Center has been a perfect fit for me and I’m excited to serve the community.

In my free time, I like cooking, listen to music and watch movies. I also like to practice yoga.

About Me

I always enjoyed learning about science while growing up in rural Southwest Michigan, but wasn’t sure what to do with that passion until I settled initially on becoming a veterinarian.  After a year of looking at horses’ mouths, however, I was so fascinated by what you can learn from teeth that I knew I needed to become a dentist.

Having been raised in an underserved area, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in public health.  Partnership Community Health Center is a perfect fit for me and I am excited to give back to this community.

When I’m not talking about teeth, I enjoy reading, photography, and skiing.  Living in the south for school for 8 years has put a pause on my skiing, and I’m eager to get back to those cold, winter days.

About Me

I grew up less than 15 miles from Waupaca and moved here in 2006.  But I have several family members who have lived here for many years, so for me, Waupaca has always been one of my homes.  I know many people and families here, so what I love about working at PCHC-Waupaca is being able to serve the community I am proud to be a part of.  I love making a difference for people I know from school and daycare or the staff I see at local businesses.  It’s important to me that I build lasting relationships with my patients by making them feel comfortable and empowered.  One of the best things about being a hygienist in a small town is seeing the same faces over the years and watching families grow up – asking how their baseball team did this summer or how the grandchildren are doing.  I’ve been a hygienist for nearly 15 years and have practiced in many different environments such as private practice for local dentists, community clinics, and schools.  I especially love seeing children and am passionate about helping them grow up having positive dental experiences.

My husband and I have two small children and operate a hobby farm where we grow produce in the spring and raise over 20 very spoiled chickens.  You can usually find me at the farmers market downtown during our growing season, greeting and catching up with customers…many of whom also happen to be current or former patients!

About Me

I have been in the dental field for 18 years. I went to school to get my Dental Assisting degree and then worked as a Dental Assistant while I went to school for my Dental Hygiene degree and license for local anesthesia.

I love living in Waupaca and working in my hometown at Partnership!  I enjoy getting to know each one of my patients and making a difference in their lives.  I like educating my patients on oral and systemic health for an overall healthier lifestyle.  I love seeing people smile and feel confident!

I spend my free time at home on the lake in the country with my 3 boys, boxer, bloodhound, pug and Persian cat. I am always on the lookout to take in an animal and give it a better life.

We enjoy swimming, paddle boarding, boating, fishing and snowboarding in the winter.
