Accepting New Patients

What I Do

I am caring, compassionate, and I will work with you to reach your health care goals. I believe in the statement, “If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness,” (unknown). My clinical interests include preventative care, sports medicine, in-office procedures, and cardiology.

Why I Love My Work

The field of medicine requires a commitment to lifelong learning and this is one of the things that drew me to it. I chose to specialize in family medicine because I wanted to see patients throughout their lifespan and through a variety of health concerns. The best part about my job is getting to know my patients.

Getting to Know Me

I grew up in Central Minnesota and enjoy the community that we have here. Outside of work, I like being outdoors, camping, hiking, and playing soccer or hockey, snowboarding, and spending time with my family. My husband, children, and I love to go camping out West, hike in the mountains and soak-in the beautiful scenery.

    Cassie is amazing. Our daughter doctors in at Mayo and Cassie's skills of listening to me and explaining things with the utmost respect for me was at their level. She created a visit where I was able to speak openly without feeling judgement. It was such a positive experience!!

    Cassandra really listened to me and summarized with different options for me and used medical terms. I appreciated that because I am not versed in medical terminology. She did a great job communicating.

    Cassie, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the way you've shown up for me-not just as a provider, but as a true advocate. You've acted swiftly when it mattered most, pushed back when necessary, and never lost sight of what was best for my care. You listen with compassion, even when the situation is complicated or the back-and-forth becomes frustrating. In the face of damage caused by others, you've stepped in, taken charge, and helped redirect my care toward healing and hope. Your ability to lead with empathy and fight for what's right has made a real difference-not just in my medical journey, but in my life. I'm deeply grateful for you.
