Professional Biography

I have been a nurse for almost 17 years. As a registered nurse I worked in the Transplant ICU and Cardiothoracic Progressive Care Unit. After graduating from KU as a Family Nurse Practitioner I worked in Urgent Care for about a year. I then transitioned to working in the ENT department at Children’s Mercy and worked there for 10 years. I am nationally board certified by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my son play baseball, soccer, basketball, and run cross-country. I also enjoy traveling and outdoor activities such as running, hiking, and skiing.

“Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and professional. I was extremely early to my appointment, and they were able to get me in sooner, which was unexpected and lovely. The building itself was very swanky.”

"People with allergies and or anything that deals with your sniffer, should come to this place. Our daughter had surgery here but its relatively quick and not too painful. Staff was very nice. If it helps your loved ones, check into it."

"The care, compassion, professionalism, and friendliness from the doctors and staff are hard to beat. I enjoy each visit and a piece of me will be saddened that I will no longer need to go into the office much longer (because he listens and is great at his job), Dr. Foster listens, cares, and is ready to tackle my concerns. I am grateful to be referred to Dr. Foster and hope others are receiving the same experience!"
