Hi — I’m Dr. Hope. I know what it’s like to feel dismissed by the very people who are supposed to help you. For most of my life I trusted the tests, the specialists, and the opinions of doctors — but I also felt that something was off. I went through years of appointments, labs, and imaging. Time and again I was told, “Everything looks normal,” even when my body kept telling me otherwise.

My mom was the person who refused to let me give up. She always said, “Listen to your gut — you know your body best.” Because of her persistence, at 33 we finally got answers. The tests being run before weren’t the right ones, and the technology hadn’t yet caught up — until Mayo Clinic helped us find a diagnosis that explained decades of unexplained symptoms. I have compression strokes related to familial cranial cavernous malformations (FCCM) — a condition that runs in my family and that had previously been written off as “dementia” or “we don’t know why.” Knowing the truth changed everything for me.

That experience is the reason I opened this practice. I built it around one simple belief: patients deserve to be heard. I want a place where your questions matter, where your symptoms are taken seriously, and where we work with you to find answers — not dismiss them. I bring that same empathetic, patient-first approach to everyone who walks through our door, especially families, pregnant people, and babies — because I know how important it is to feel understood when your health (or your child’s) is at stake.

If you’ve ever felt brushed off, I see you — and I’ll fight to find the care and clarity you deserve. If you want to meet, I offer a short consult so we can talk about what you’re experiencing and how I might help. Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
