Kristen - Chief of Operations
AKA “Boss Lady”
Kristen is also known as Dr. Craig’s wife. She’s the boss and organization of the office and at home. ;-)
As Dr. Craig’s practice has exploded over the years and he has hired more help, Dr. Craig finally decided that there was no better person to help in the practice than his wife. With her background in a natural health lifestyle, being married to Dr. Craig for over 20 years, and often attending and having to listen to Dr. Craig she knew a lot about what was going on and how to help Dr. Craig help his patients.
She is often the first contact you will have with the office, doing most, if not all new patient calls so she can educate them on the process, what to expect, and answer any and all questions new patients might have about the process or if our practice might be able to help with a certain condition. In addition, she is also Dr. Craig’s “right-hand man” due to her detailed knowledge of the process and what patients often experience while going through the process and many times also how to troubleshoot or deal with certain things.
Kristen started her path down natural health as a child. Growing up with a mom that wanted to find alternatives to medicating her children. Fast forward to college, Kristen had a strong interest in healthy living she minored in nutrition but went on to try many different career options. She spent a few years as a teacher then had her children. That’s when healthy living really became the center of Dr. Craig and Kristen’s home. A couple of years after having home births, Kristen worked as a doula and health coach.
After her kids were old enough to go to school most of the day and Premier Functional Medicine growing so much she was direly needed in the practice so she transitioned into helping him with Premier IFM. Through the years she has taken on more and more and really is the main assistant to both Dr. Craig and Nurse Jessica. You won’t typically see her in the office, but you may talk to her on the phone most often.
