Get To Know Me
Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
An osteopathic education has prepared me to look at all aspects of a woman’s health, not just gynecology. If I cannot figure out what ails you, I will make every effort to find someone who can.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
This relationship is a partnership. I will never “tell” a patient what to do, but help to guide them in making decisions that fit their lifestyle.
How do you spend your personal time when you’re not caring for patients?
I have small children, so much of my time is spent enjoying them. We spend a lot of time outdoors when possible. I also love teaching our residents and spend free time improving my teaching style.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Every decade of a woman’s life has new challenges, particularly surrounding pregnancy and lactation. I love specializing in a field where I can make a difference and empower my amazing patients.
