Meet Dr. Mindy, MD, MBA, FACS
Dr. Mindy has been caring for patients in the midwest her entire professional career. Beyond her technical expertise as a surgeon, she has always believed that her ability to connect with patients is an important part of building a trusted patient-doctor relationship, eases patients' anxiety and overall improves outcomes. As healthcare has evolved over the years, like many of her colleagues, the joy of practicing medicine faded over time and she stepped away from medicine completely. During her sabbatical, she gained insight of a renewed purpose, re-committed to healthcare and became a certified coach serving physicians. She is a physician leader, a patient advocate and champion for physician well-being. As an independent physician, she is able to remain patient-focused by offering flexible scheduling, personalized attention and direct communication. She is thriving as the kind of doctor she would want caring for her own loved ones -- while also becoming a person better able to be physically, mentally and emotionally present for the meaningful parts of her life outside the operating room. ​
Vision Statement
We are committed to bringing patients, physicians, and organizations together in pursuit of a shared goal: better health for all and sustainable healthcare of the future. By putting the 'care' back in healthcare, we foster collaboration, compassion, and a more human-centered approach.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower patients, healthcare professionals and organizations to align with their unique values and embrace the vital roles they each play in delivering meaningful and effective care
Core Values
Individual autonomy. There are guiding principles both in medicine and in life. A person’s health needs are specific to their situations and their values (e.g. family, social, financial, professional, emotional, etc). By honoring choice, we empower patients to take an active role in their care with dignity and confidence while making an informed decision
​
Wellness is an important part of medicine. True healthcare goes beyond treating illnesses. By integrating physical, mental, and emotional well-being into the foundation of medicine, we empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
​
Empathy is at the heart of meaningful care and connection. Through active listening, understanding and value for each person's experience, we build on a foundation of trust and respect.
​
Collaboration. Healthcare is a team sport that requires engaged participation from individual patients, healthcare professionals and organizations that foster those relationships
​
Authenticity. By embracing honesty, individuality and vulnerability and showing up as our true selves, we foster a culture where people feel safe, seen and empowered to grow
