Healthy Habits, Healthier Life

Practicing as an internal medicine physician, Dr. Pardee has a diverse background in patient care. She holds a strong understanding of clinical guidelines and policies based on the changes in our healthcare and social climate. While practicing medicine, Dr. Pardee always felt that women’s health and mental health were areas that called for more attention. So, in 2012, Dr. Pardee started working closely with pharmaceutical companies to find better solutions for women in various stages of life and for anyone dealing with mental health problems. Her extensive research background and her compassion for her patients make her a unique clinician.

Dr. Pardee has been providing integrated primary care for women for over 20 years, caring for their gynecological needs as well as their internal medicine needs. In fact, the ease of having all of a woman’s needs met with one physician is what attracted most of her patients to her.   From young adulthood to the transitional stage of menopause, she has seen each of her patients through it all, taking into account their unique journeys, meaningful connections, and individual experiences.

Dr. Pardee has a special interest in hormonal variations and how they affect the body, mind, and brain.  For example, menopause is associated with a significant increase in blood pressure. Diabetes and high cholesterol occur 2-3 times more often in postmenopausal women than premenopausal women. Dr. Pardee is passionate about preventative care, and knowing what lies ahead to prevent it is key to a long, healthy life.
