My Idea of Care

I strive to provide evidence-based treatments to my patients and their families within an integrated health care model. One of the best parts of working in pediatrics at Sanford Health is the opportunity to partner with parents and other medical providers as one team. Through this, I provide family-centered care and help your child grow and meet their health goals.

Personal Interests

Dr. Brower-Breitwieser is married and has two children. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, cooking and spending time with her friends and family.
