My Idea of Care

I strive to provide evidence-based treatments to my patients and their families, within an integrated healthcare model. Partnering with other medical providers and parents as one team to provide family-centered care is one of the best parts of working in pediatrics at Sanford, second only to watching your child grow and meet their goals.

Personal Interests

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