Second Year Residents
Basil Anderson, M.D.Case Western Reserve University School of MedicineBasil's first two apgars were 3 and 7. Things have only improved since that time. He grew up in Salt Lake City, UT while his father attended medical school and then finished his surgery residency. After seeing what his father went through, Basil decided to not even consider medicine as a profession that a rational person would go into. He switched between computer programming and psychology for many years eventually deciding on psychology after spending 2 years in Peru. Then, as is usual for Basil, he rethought his decision to go into psychology. Despite the warning he had from his father's experience, Basil decided to go into medicine as it would let him help more people. During the first two years of medical school, Basil wondered if he really had been sane when he decided to go to medical school. Luckily, he absolutely loved clinical work and never wondered if he had gone into the right profession again (most of the time). He can now be found lurking in the halls of Sky Lakes waiting to pounce on a patient, at home with his wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters, online playing videogames with his brothers and father, or wandering the caves of Lava Beds National Monument.Lindsey Burwell, M.D.Oregon Health & Science UniversityLindsey is a true Oregonian through and through. She grew up on a farm along the McKenzie River, east of Eugene, Oregon. She spent her childhood riding horses, helping with her parent’s whitewater rafting business, and enjoying the outdoors. She attended college at Oregon State University and spent a super senior year abroad, studying and working in South America while adding an international degree. She comes from a family of firefighters and spent six summers between high school and medical school working as a wildland firefighter, but has always known she wanted to be a doctor. She pursued medicine at OHSU in Portland, OR and was fortunate enough to have several valuable experiences in international healthcare during her time there. Her professional interests include international and rural medicine with an emphasis on public health, preventative medicine and family planning.Lindsey’s greatest passion is traveling and finds trekking the best way to see a country and experience the culture. She has done long distance treks in India, Nepal, Turkey, Ecuador, and Peru with many more on her to do list. Outside of work she is active in the outdoors, running, biking, hiking, snowboarding and rafting. She also enjoys cooking, gardening, yoga, and learning to sew. Lindsey enjoys sharing her life in Klamath Falls with her partner, Adam, and their dogs Ryder & Sage. Adria Honda, M.D.University of Hawaii John A Burns School of MedicineAdria was born in a little coastal town in northern California called Arcata, where she stayed mostly still for 18 years. Then she started moving and hasn’t stopped yet. She paused in Davis California for where she spent more time on her bicycle than sleeping; then she ventured off into the world to find something to do with her new biology degree. She drove across the country, visited the non-continental states, and fell in love with a quiet little town called Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. After a couple months in India, she was hopelessly addicted to chai, but also finally convinced her that medicine was her path. Adria paused again in San Diego California to study for the MCAT and learn to surf before moving to Honolulu Hawaii to study medicine and meet as many sea turtles as possible. From there, all roads led to Klamath Falls for the perfect rural residency program. Now she is ready to trade in her SCUBA gear for some snowshoes and explore her newest home in the Pacific Northwest. Adria loves everything about Family Medicine not limited to: full-spectrum practice, preventative medicine, women's health, rural medicine, and the opportunity to care for those who need it most.Ann Kellogg, D.O.Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the PacificAnn is a native of Washington, DC area, having learned to drive on the Capital Beltway and to expect that all museums were free. After high school, she was looking for an adventure, which resulted in her choosing to go to college in Kansas to become a social worker at Washburn University. As can be expected, the excitement of Topeka, KS wore off and propelled her back east for graduate school (University of Maryland School of Social Work) in Baltimore where the adventure could be a little more life-threatening. She survived school and Baltimore to help run residential programs for people with developmental disabilities and/or psychiatric illnesses in Maryland and Seattle, WA. Her work over the next few years convinced her to pursue medicine as she saw her clients struggle to get good medical care. That, in turn, lead her to Western University of Health Sciences for medical school. Ann's passions in Medicine include caring for people with disabilities, palliative care, lifestyle medicine, OMT and, discordantly, critical care.When she has free time, Ann enjoys spending time with her partner, hiking the endless hills around Klamath Falls, trying to run a faster marathon than her prior turtle pace, and reading fiction. While she has no human children, she has a growing family of three dogs and two cats. Peter Koppenheffer, M.D.Wake Forest University School of MedicinePete was born and raised in Mechanicsburg, PA a small suburb of Harrisburg (itself a small capital). He was introduced to the medical profession when he was 12 and had a brain tumor removed. Ever since that time he knew that he wanted to be a doctor. His journey led him south (before heading west) to Wake Forest University where he completed undergrad and medical school (Go Deacs!) During medical school he met the love of his life, Amanda, and they got married in June, 2009. Pete chose family medicine because of its many parallels to Wake Forest basketball —well sort of anyway, you should read his personal statement. In particular he chose Klamath Falls to do his residency because of the unique rural training opportunities, and the chance to do stuff they just won‘t let you do back east. Pete’s medical interests include working with underserved populations, full-spectrum rural family medicine, and complimentary and alternative medicine. His non-medical interests include reading, watching sports (anything and everything), and exploring with his wonderful wife.Claudia Rey, M.D.Universidad de Los AndesI was born and raised in San Cristobal, Venezuela. As a young adult I had an interest in epidemiology and the interventions done through rural medicine that changed the living conditions and health of families and their villages. I attended medical school at Los Andes University; met my husband during these years; and soon after graduation we immigrated to the US to pursue our postgraduate studies. Family Medicine offers the opportunity to many of my passions including preventive medicine, adolescence, women health and patient education. I am particularly interested in working with the Hispanic community and the underserved. Nurturing family moments around our two energetic daughters, cooking, traveling, and the outdoors are things I cherish and enjoy doing. Cascades East Family Medicine residency is the perfect setting for my professional endeavors. I am absolutely thrilled and privilege to be a part of this team dedicated and committed to excellence in medical training and patient care.Laneah Snyder, M.D.Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center School of MedicineLaneah was born and raised in rural Lakeview, Oregon. After getting a B.A. in Biology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Laneah relocated with her husband to Stony Brook, New York for medical school. Both Oregonians at heart, they decided it was time to return home. She is thrilled to be able to live in Klamath Falls and become a part of the Cascades East Residency. In her spare time she enjoys baking and scrap-booking. She looks forward to introducing her son (who will turn 1 as the intern year begins) to a world of camping, skiing, traveling, and scuba diving. Her future plans include returning to a rural underserved community in order to practice true Family Medicine. |
