Neurology
Karen Garnaas, MD
Redding, CA
I feel like I was created for this profession as I decided to become a doctor as a child and have absolutely loved my practice. Medicine allows me to combine my ongoing desire for understanding with my love and compassion for helping people on their personal health journeys. My faith and family are at the center of my life and expression. I am married and have 5 children ranging in ages from 14-26! I also greatly enjoy hiking in our beautiful north state area.
