Julie first became interested in neurology in her undergraduate courses at the University of Michigan. Majoring in movement science, she focused on motor control, including courses focused on disorders of voluntary movement, and understanding those mechanisms in order to establish treatment. She then went on to obtain a national registration as an EEG Technologist, and worked for years in epilepsy, continuing to grow her passion for neurology before attending school to become a physician assistant. Julie is excited to come to work each day, because neurology is such a vast and exciting field, and each patient and case is different and rewarding in its own way.

Being a physician assistant is a second career for Karen—she went back to school when she was 48 years old! Why did she start over? Blessed with great mentors in both her career and at home, Karen was taught to always strive to be a better person and to never give up. She wanted a career where she could make a difference in someone's life. Her special interests are Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. Karen facilitates the Parkinson’s disease support group in Kalamazoo and helps lead the multiple sclerosis support group. She also helps organize the annual walk-a-thon for Parkinson’s disease and is a member of the Michigan Parkinson Foundation professional advisory board.

After becoming an Army medic, I decided that I wanted a career in the medical field. Becoming a physician assistant allowed me to increase my medical knowledge that, in turn, allowed me to provide better care to my soldiers. I credit my mother as one of the individuals who most influenced my life. She grew up in poverty in El Salvador but managed to get a degree. She made the decision to move the family to the United States, allowing us to have greater opportunities and a better life than would have been available otherwise. This is another reason why I enjoy the chance to welcome new patients, assist in improving their quality of life and listen to their individual stories.

Dr Ver Steeg learned early in his life what a difference plastic surgery can make in someone’s life. One friend with a cleft palate was helped by a plastic surgeon. Another friend received care after a lawnmower accident. He credits his grandfather with instilling a sense of hard work and drive that has helped to guide him through life. Additionally, Dr Ver Steeg finds the field of plastic surgery quite intellectually stimulating. Encountering problems not found in a textbook, he has to weight the different options and come up with the right solution for problem at hand. Dr Ver Steeg has a special interest in reconstructive surgeries including facial trauma, breast reconstruction, skin cancer surgery and wound care.

Martina chose to become a nurse practitioner (NP) to improve the health of those around her in her community. At work, she is most excited to be able to make a difference for someone, even if it as simple as giving them a listening ear when they are having a hard time. The biggest influence in Martina’s life has been her parents for always encouraging her to put her best foot forward in her personal and professional life. The last few years have been busy for Martina as she raises her two young children who keep her running around. The small amount of free time she finds is typically spent outside working around the house, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
