Byrd, Shakaiela

She focuses on education and relationship building because she believes when patients understand their condition, they have a vested interest in staying healthy. She wants her patients to feel valued and heard and feel comfortable voicing their concerns and opinions. She sees herself as more than a health care provider, she also serves as a patient advocate. In her free time, Kristine loves spending time with her son. Since he was five, they've spent almost every Friday with pizza, popcorn and a movie.
