Adrianna started her career as a certified nursing assistant and then decided to attend nursing school. After becoming a nurse, she gained extensive experience working in acute and critical care inside a hospital. “After a while, I decided to make a career change,” she explains. “I decided that my skills would be more valuable helping patients prevent the kind of illnesses that caused them to be admitted to the hospital in the first place. That’s why I made the transition to practicing in primary care.”

Adrianna enjoys caring for patients at every stage of life. She believes that each patient’s lifestyle, health goals, and overall desires need to be taken into consideration when creating a plan of care. “The best plan of care for any patient is the one that they will stick with and happily incorporate into their lifestyle. I want to work closely with each patient to make sure their healthcare plan fits their life,” she explains. “This type of care requires open and honest communication to help patients achieve their healthcare goals.”

When she is not busy with patients, Adrianna enjoys spending time outdoors. “I enjoy walking my dogs, playing outside with my kids, hiking nature trails or just sitting out on my back deck enjoying nature. I also enjoy a good book, spending time with friends, and an occasional Swedish massage.”
