“I strive to work with patients to find the best treatment plans for them, working holistically for individualized care.”

Provider Bio down arrow

As a mother, professional and someone who likes to stay active, Kristin Ruesch, physician assistant, knows how important sleep is. “We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and I want to help people make the most of it,” she said.

Kristin sees patients with obstructive sleep apnea, hypersomnia, insomnia and some cases of narcolepsy. “If people do not get a good night sleep, it effects their whole life by crossing into their family, career and general health,” she said.

Kristin values creating a rapport with patients, building a relationship based on communication and trust. “I like working to find the right treatment for each person,” she said.

Kristin strives to bring confidence to her patients and hopes they are comfortable talking with her about their care. “It’s rewarding to see improvements and the difference it can make in their life,” she said.

Kristin completed the physician assistant program from the University of New England-Portland, Maine and has a bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse.
