"I love working with OB-Gyn patients because I love the continuity of the profession," the physician says. "I want my patients to know that I'm part of their team. Whether it's them having a baby or struggling with (menstrual) period issues and pain, my number one goal is their health and safety. They can always trust me and know that I'm going to take excellent care of them."

In pursuit of her career, Dr. Talken earned her Medical Degree at the University of Kansas School of Medicine.
