In her role, Bohland is committed to listening and building trust with her patients to foster an open, honest relationship.

“I strive to help my patients understand their health to empower them to be an active participant in their health,” Bohland says. “I want my patients to be able to discuss their concerns with me. I promise to listen without bias or judgment.”
