About

Care Philosophy 

I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to build lasting relationships with patients and make a meaningful difference in their lives. In urogynecology, I recognize that symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and bladder concerns can affect far more than physical health. They can affect confidence, relationships and everyday activities. I believe patients deserve to feel comfortable asking questions, understand their treatment options and be active participants in their care. My commitment is to provide thoughtful, compassionate, evidence-based care while helping each patient achieve the best possible quality of life.

Personal Statement

My greatest joy is spending time with my husband, our son and our dog. Outside the clinic, I also enjoy reading, gardening or anything outdoors. I appreciate the balance these hobbies bring to my busy life.

    I was appreciative of the skill/knowledge of April and her ability to articulate my issues. She also had diagrams and after taking some physical assessments she was able to have technology simulate what my condition would look like-personal diagram. I am thankful for assistive technology even though I caution the use of AI to give accurate final reporting of facts. (AI does make errors and one needs to read carefully just to make sure things are correct)-proofing is still required.

    My provider made comments in MyChart on past things I've been diagnosed with but in no way were part of or discussed during appointment. She also made comments on an exam finding that she noticed during the exam but noted she didn't discuss the abnormality of the exam with me. The symptoms the abnormality can cause we're exactly the symptoms I was there about yet other things were unnecessarily discussed instead of the exam findings. I find both those things inappropriate & unprofessional. Besides those 2 details she is a great doctor

    Visit and provider were good but notes after visit - which I assume were AI generated - were not even close to our discussion in many instances. Pretty worthless and will no doubt be misleading at future visits.

    I felt very comfortable with all the women health care providers. They were all knowledgeable. They were all so very kind in an embarrassing situation, a personal, you know, gynecological, urological situation, very understanding, very professional, very empathetic. I had a really good experience with all of the providers, not just this appointment, but all of the providers so far. And I would definitely recommend this healthcare team to any woman I know. Thank you.

A wonderful experience with a knowledgeable person. She used models to explain and help visualize the inner workings of the body. I am completely satisfied with this person.
