Diana’s Philosophy of Care
MSCP (Menopause Society Certified Practitioner)
A Legacy of Whole-Person Care
I come from a family of physicians. Both my father and my grandfather practiced medicine. My grandfather was a family practice doctor at a time when he did a little of everything. He delivered babies, took care of children, and even performed operations.
Medicine has evolved dramatically since then, with the development of specialties among many other changes. However, I have always been impacted by the way my grandfather cared for patients—personal, whole-person care.
Choosing a Career in Service to Patients
I became a Physician Assistant because I loved medicine, I loved people, and I wanted to take care of patients. I spent several years in pediatrics before moving into women’s health. It was there that I discovered my passion. I love caring for women of all ages. Women are the backbone of our society. They are the caretakers of so many things. I have found that many women take care of everyone else and think about themselves last.
Diana’s Testimony
My Personal Testimony
For most of my life, I believed in God because I thought it was the right thing to do. It was good to have a church, good to attend regularly, and good to raise your children in a church. It wasn’t until recently that I realized there is a lot more to a relationship with God than doing what you are “supposed” to do. A true relationship with God is not just about checking the boxes—it’s about inviting God into your life.
Though I didn’t realize it over the years, God has been pursuing a relationship with me—through the people and the experiences He has put into my life. Several years ago, I went on a mission trip with an organization called Amazon Outreach. This group travels on a boat down the Amazon River, taking the gospel (as well as medical and dental care) to the Forgotten People along the river. Because the only way to reach the villages along the river is by boat, these sweet people consider themselves “forgotten.” This mission trip was truly a life-changing experience for me.
I came home with such immense gratitude for my salvation, my life, my family, and my friends. I wanted to take what I felt and learned about myself and God on that boat in the Amazon and see how God wanted me to use it here, at home. I felt like God showed me how much more my life can be if I invite Him in and live to glorify Him.
