Since Dorothy Gasner, PA-C (Dot) was young, she felt the influence of the healthcare system. Growing up, Dot was inspired by the examples set by her providers. However, rather than pursuing medicine, Dot was drawn to science and the culinary arts. It wasn’t until she was pursuing these interests that she began to synthesize a connection between healthcare, science, and her culinary finesse. Healthcare and medicine became a secret ingredient in her career recipe. These together formed a perfect recipe and a groundwork for who Dot is today. She pursued education at the University of Puget Sound and Midwestern University in Illinois for her Physician Assistant schooling. Dot has developed a wealth of experience by working as a scribe in emergency rooms, CNA for assisted living, working as a med aid and more.
In her free time Dot enjoys cooking, working on jigsaw puzzles, and sharing her knowledge of environmentalism. She also enjoys spending time with her friends and going for walks along the Narrows Bridge with her latest favorite podcast.
