Dr Verstraete has always had an interest in learning how things work. Throughout high school, she became more interested in human bodies and their function. Working in family medicine, she gets to see a little bit of everything. “Each day brings a unique challenge, but I also get to know my patients and see them over the course of their life.” Dr Verstraete enjoys being able to follow patients through their health journey, whether that be a few months or many years – getting to help them gradually improve their health. In her spare time, Dr Verstraete enjoys hiking, bicycling, knitting and gardening.

Lori was inspired to become a certified nurse midwife (CNM) by the midwives she worked with when she was a labor and delivery nurse. Their approach to prenatal care was far more personalized and patient-centered than anything she had previously experienced. Lori loves being a CNM because every day is a new experience for her. She enjoys meeting new patients and getting to know them and their families while providing care. Lori is especially interested in reducing the primary cesarean section rate. She attended her first CNM conference on reducing primary cesarean sections in November 2016 and she credits that experience for guiding how she practices today.

Dr Uribe loves working as an OB/GYN provider because every day in the office looks different. “One day can be easy and peaceful. The next, you are experiencing an adrenaline rush.” She is specifically interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and adolescents medicine. Dr Uribe is passionate about different cultures and is committed to delivering care that respects the unique backgrounds and experiences of her patients. In collaboration with fellow doctors from around the world, Dr Uribe has published two books (Doctoras con Alas and Migrating Physicians). Both books were written to help people – both physicians as well as migrants in general – find encouragement and feel motivated to achieve their dreams.
