When she’s not with patients, Dr. Day enjoys hanging out with her family. She likes to paint and spend time outdoors hiking, hunting and fishing.

I strive to provide comprehensive patient-centered care. My goal is to help people eliminate pain, optimize function and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
