Born and raised in Missouri, Danette was called to the medical field due to a traumatic experience as a teenager. With 30 years of medical experience, including internal medicine and acute/chronic patient care, she is most drawn to preventative care, chronic disease management, weight loss and mental health. Danette wants to provide the best care possible by having honest communication and compassion for each and every patient. If she had not gone into nursing, she would have become a pharmacist.
