As a nurse practitioner, Betsy has worked in Family Medicine and Urgent Care when she first graduated. She then transitioned to ENT in 2017. Betsy truly has a passion for caring for the surgical patient.
Outside of working, Betsy loves spending time with her family, and moved back to KC from Springfield, MO in order to be closer to her family. She is married with one toddler-aged son. She enjoys being with her husband and son, and together they enjoy traveling, camping, being on the lake in their boat and spending time with friends. Her hobbies include storm spotting/chasing, cooking, reading, music and bird watching. Betsy really enjoys most anything to do with nature and science.
