Karen L. Dwyer, PA-C, was raised and educated in Albuquerque. She comes from a diverse medical family. She received all her professional degrees from UNM and worked as a dental hygienist for 6 years and then a pharmaceutical representative for 7 years. She has worked with Dr. Shoden since 2004. She made a career change because she felt more attuned to women's mental and health needs. "I love working with women through all their life stages." Daphne Johnson CNP, is a native New Mexican and has been in practice with Dr Williams for 22 years. She is a certified menopause clinician offering both traditional and natural hormone replacement therapy. Over the years she has seen the practice grow and the needs of thousands of women met by the specialized and sensitive care that is offered at our practice. "I'm reminded every day how resilient women are." Pamela Fulton, CFNP shares her time between both practices. She has been a nurse midwife for 22 years and has delivered many babies. Now as a family nurse practitioner she does GYN care exclusively. She feels honored to work with Dr.Shoden and Dr. Williams in a place where women are welcomed and receive friendly, top-notch care. "It's rare to find as dedicated a group of women as are the doctors, nurses and medical assistants in these two practices." Linda Dominguez CNP, has been in GYN clinical practice for 24 years and is a nationally recognized educator, trainer and advisor to other health care professionals. She and her NP colleagues at Southwest Women's Health provide a full scope of women's gynecologic health needs from adolescents to elders. "Our practice reflects the community we serve. We have strived to have an office setting that is women-centered and conducive to conversation and care. " Kathryn (Kay) Tanis CNP, has lived and worked in Albuquerque for many years. Being an RN in the hospital, labor and delivery 12+ years, and now a Gyn CNP for 7 years she has met the needs of many women in New Mexico. "The best thing I see every day is how strong women are and how empowered they are in today's environment. I love being a part of their care." Kristen Gorbitz CNP, has been in the medical field for 22 years. She moved to Albuquerque from Las Cruces 8 years ago. She has been a dynamic and effective addition to our practice and believes in treating the whole person not just the diagnosis. We recognize that women do not live isolated lives but are interacting with their families and networks and that this directly impacts a woman's health and her needs for care. "I care about my patient's lives as well as their medical care."
