After another hard winter they decided to move towards Kirsten's parents in sunny Tucson, Arizona. As one of her patients reminded her, "You can't shovel sunshine." She was lucky enough to find a practice that reflected her same beliefs of quality and cohesive care. She found a work family here with Mesquite Gastroenterology.
