Dr. Fry grew up in a farming family in Winchester, Illinois. Although she loves farming, she knew early on she wanted to pursue a career in medicine.
"When I was 13 years old, I was diagnosed as diabetic. I have been a patient ever since," Dr. Fry said. "I always wanted to help people like my doctors helped me."
Like the doctors who helped her, she believes in forming relationships built on trust and honesty, helping her patients achieve their optimum health.
"I try to treat everyone just like I would want myself or a member of my family treated," Dr. Fry said. "I'm very down to earth. You can talk to me like you would a friend or family member. If I can't figure out the problem, I'll find someone who can."
Dr. Fry and her husband, Jeremy, have three kids and live on a small farm raising cattle, chickens and goats. The love boating and growing flowers.
