As a physician assistant, Crystal appreciates the opportunity to truly make a difference in the quality of life of her patients. She feels very strongly about taking time with patients to educate them appropriately and help them through tough medical decisions and enjoys spending the extra time when needed to make a patient understand and feel confident that the right decisions are being made. Crystal says that her father has been the biggest influence in her life. He was chronically ill and still fought daily to watch his children and grandchildren grow up. In Crystal’s free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two boys, camping, traveling and reading.
