Philosophy of Care
I enjoy working with patients and their parents to deliver individualized treatment plans that promote health and wellness, and appreciate the longterm relationships that I develop with families. When not working, I recharge at home with my husband and two children. I spent my own childhood and adolescence in Davis, and after sixteen years away I was pleased to return home when I joined the UC Davis Health faculty in 2016.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Crossen provides clinical care for infants, children, and adolescents with a wide variety of endocrine conditions. Her expertise includes disorders of the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands; disorders of growth, puberty, and sexual development; disorders of bone health and calcium regulation; type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus; and various genetic conditions with associated endocrine issues.
Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Crossen is dedicated to improving the management of chronic conditions for pediatric patients within our healthcare system. Her current research focuses on leveraging telehealth, digital health technologies, and remote patient monitoring to improve care delivery and outcomes for youth living with type 1 diabetes.
