Idea of Care

I believe the patient is more than the problem or illness they present with, which is why it is important to treat the whole person instead of just the problem. I strive to provide excellent services through thorough assessment and active listening to deliver individualized, exceptional treatment to all my patients.

Personal Interests

Dr. Combs loves playing volleyball and tennis. She also enjoys music and is the proud parent of a German shepherd and red heeler mix rescue pup named Tumble.
