Megan particularly enjoys caring for patients with chronic, difficult-to-treat, or diagnostically challenging skin diseases. She takes a comprehensive approach to these cases, working to clarify diagnoses, identify contributing factors, and develop practical, individualized treatment plans that improve both skin health and quality of life.
Megan earned her undergraduate degree from Western Michigan University before completing her Master of Science in Nursing at Marquette University and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) at Saint Anthony College of Nursing. She is board certified by the ANCC and remains actively engaged in continuing education, dermatology conferences, and professional development to stay current with advances in dermatologic care.
Her approach to care is centered on building strong patient relationships through trust, communication, and shared decision-making. Megan takes time to listen to patient concerns, thoroughly evaluate individual needs, and ensure patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options. She believes patient education is an essential part of successful dermatologic care and strives to empower patients to take an active role in managing their skin health.
Megan resides in Byron, Illinois, with her husband and three children. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, trying new restaurants and culinary experiences, outdoor activities, watching sports, and cheering on the Chicago Bears.
Megan is currently accepting new patients and looks forward to helping individuals and families achieve healthier skin and greater confidence in their care.
