Born and raised in Lexington, I graduated from Tates Creek High School and then Purdue University with a degree in Biology. From a young age, I always considered medicine as a career choice – I simply couldn’t see myself doing anything else. I returned to Lexington to attend medical school at the University of Kentucky. While a medical student, I knew internal medicine was the right fit for me due to its broad reach and depth of knowledge. I completed residency training at the University of Kentucky and have been practicing primary care ever since.

I love the patient-physician relationship and the ability to follow patients through time. I enjoy getting to know patients and their families. I also completed a menopause treatment certification, which has added knowledge to my practice as I treat women in this period of their lives. I enjoy being in a practice that allows me to provide evidence-based primary care with even more flexibility to deepen relationships with my patients and provide the absolute best care possible.

I have two sons, Thomas & Henry and a three legged cat named Millie.

Born and raised in Central Kentucky, it may be no surprise that my earliest interests in medicine were that of the equine nature, when I would ride farm-to-farm with my dad on his veterinary rounds. But history was my academic love and I chose to major in East Asian History at Davidson College. My interest in medicine piqued again when I studied abroad in China, participating in a program focused on Traditional Chinese Medicine. After Davidson, I attended the University of Kentucky College of Medicine where I met Ryan and our collective journey began.

I knew I wanted a specialty that would allow me to create long-lasting relationships with my patients. I also wanted to consider the whole patient, not just one organ system or area of the body. Internal Medicine provided the perfect residency for me, which I did at Tulane University.

In my leisure time, I enjoy being outside. I love spending time with my husband and our three kids. Flowers, plants, crafting, food, art, movement, reading and relationships bring me joy.

Downtown Drs. Brown allows me to practice at my best by creating strong relationships and focusing on the root of health issues. My goal is to help patients with their health and wellness so they may pursue whatever it is they most enjoy.

I am a born and raised Kentuckian. I grew up on a farm in Henderson with horses, cattle and a large pond for swimming and fishing. As a child, I lived on the basketball court and golf course.

Using a spot on the golf team as a gateway west, I attended the University of California, San Diego where I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology. I obtained my medical degree at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, which is where Cady and I met. We went south together, where I completed an internal medicine residency at Tulane University. It is in New Orleans where I began to learn, and love the nuance and art of medicine.

After completing an extra year as Chief Residents at Tulane, Cady and I returned home to Kentucky. In 2018, we founded Downtown Drs. Brown.

I went to medical school because I wanted a career that would allow me an opportunity to have an important impact on people’s lives. I chose the field of primary care because it allows an intimate physician-patient relationship. Downtown Drs. Brown was created to provide a venue to treat patients the way we feel they should be treated: with complete attention and compassion, and no eye on the clock.
