Reproductive freedom for all ♀

About

I am proud to call Reno “home” for the last 25 years! After a fulfilling 17 years of practicing obstetrics, I spent another 10 years as a full time gynecologist dedicating my career to women’s healthcare.  Recently I retired from my full time gynecology practice to spend more time in the great outdoors and with my adult children who live out of state. It was during this time that my interest in women’s health continued to grow and evolved into a collaboration with OBGYN Associates called The Menopause Clinic. Specializing in perimenopause and menopause, the clinic is dedicated to educating and empowering women through their menopause transition. My practice focuses on tailoring a comprehensive treatment plan to meet each woman’s needs and goals. My mission is to assist women to live confidently and healthfully in this next chapter of their lives.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy traveling, hiking, gardening and snowshoeing … just about anything outside!

Reddit Testimonial (r/childfree)

OB/GYN Associates – Instantly agreed to give me (30 yr old) a bilateral salpingectomy. I have no children. The instant I brought it up, she was on my side about it. No bingos, no attitude, no additional requirements. When I gave her my reasons (not that I was prompted) — with the most important being that I simply didn’t want kids — she didn’t question me in the slightest. Really pleasant person and a surprisingly no-hassle experience and quick agreement for the procedure.
