To all my wonderful patients,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce I will be taking a step back from practicing Obstetrics and Gynecology on 2/29/24 to spend more time with my family. It has been an amazing 8 years with Desert Sage and I have been blessed with the best patients and the best colleagues. It has been an absolute honor and privilege getting to know each and every one of you. Thank you for inviting me into your lives and your families. Thank you for trusting me, for growing with me and for teaching me along the way. I will forever treasure the joy and the tears we have shared together.
I am fortunate to be able to recommend Dr. Valerie Scholten and Dr. Lauren Eads to continue your care with Desert Sage. They are both incredible physicians and they look forward to getting to know you to make this transition as easy as possible.
Instead of saying goodbye, I will say, “until next time”, in the hope that our paths will cross again in the future.
Wishing you health, happiness and love,
Kristina Suntay, MD
Dr. Lauren Eads
To all my wonderful patients,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce I will be leaving Desert Sage OBGYN at the end of August 2024 to peruse an opportunity in academia. I have truly enjoyed the last 3 years with Desert Sage and I have been blessed with the best patients. I am fortunate to be able to recommend Dr. Valerie Scholten to continue your care with Desert Sage. For those of you who do not know Dr. Scholten, she is a board certified OBGYN with over 30 years of experience. Her tenure allows her to have a true understanding of all that women’s healthcare can be experienced throughout our lives. I am proud to have been a part of Desert Sage OBGYN and I am looking forward to my next journey teaching the future generations of Women’s Health.
I wish you all the best and continued good health.
