Kayce A. Spear, MD
As a born and raised Oregonian, I graduated from Reed College and Oregon Health & Science University. As a Fulbright Scholar, I was fortunate to spent time in Heidelberg, Germany and go on to do my residency in the University of Wisconsin.
I loved studying science, health and the human body. In my career and in life, I saw myself taking care of my family and my community at all ages and stages of their life. As a patient of South Tabor Family Physicians, I admired how the practitioners enjoyed the encounters with their patients. So, after many years of mentorship with Dr. Crover, I saw that becoming Family Medicine physician was a wonderful fit.
The best advice I give my patients to living a healthy life:
- Sleep well
- Eat well
- Move your body daily
- Learn, even if it takes you out of your comfort zone
- Most of all spend time with people you love and with those who bring out the best in you.
Indoors and outdoors, my passion is for building family & community — often through nerdy pursuits, like board games, bouldering, and social dancing. I love creating opportunities to learn about and connect meaningfully with others. I am also a proud mom and spouse.
In my off hours, I love to read to my beautiful daughter, cut a rug with my fabulous husband, explore new places on my bicycle, and cook for my large extended family.
