Radiculopathy near Shakopee, MN

Care Philosophy: Dr. Gustafson™s favorite part about being an internal medicine physician is forming long-term relationships with patients. She loves the moment when a person finally reaches their goal weight or has their depression/anxiety under good control. Until that point, she enjoys working with people on small steps that add up to big health improvements over time. Internal medicine is about chronic and complex disease management " hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, depression/anxiety, migraines, arthritis, kidney disease, asthma/COPD, liver disease and dementia are Dr. Gustafson™s bread and butter. She treats the whole person so that the diuretic used for heart failure does not cause kidney failure. Patients can be taking 12+ medications and Dr. Gustafson™s job is to make sure those medications are necessary, well-tolerated, working well and are appropriate given other medications/allergies. As a self-professed nerd, she enjoys the challenge of medicine. Dr. Gustafson™s patients can expect comprehensive care from a thoughtful and caring doctor.
