About

Dr. Shawna Tonick earned her medical degree from State University of New York Downstate Medical School and completed her residency at Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine.

Dr. Tonick can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be an OB-GYN. She has long been drawn to the specialty because it allows her to care and advocate for the health of women in all stages of their lives. She was also excited by the ability to combine medicine with surgical expertise.

For Dr. Tonick, one of the best aspects of work in obstetrics is getting to know her patients personally, and being present for some of the most important moments of her patients’ lives. She prides herself on her ability to connect with her patients to develop a lasting relationship. She’s not only excited by the prospect of delivering her patients’ babies, but she also notes delivery as something she’s quite proud of.

When she’s not working with her patients to develop individualized treatment plans, Dr. Tonick enjoys trying new restaurants, hiking, reading and spending time with family and friends.

Reddit Testimonial (r/childfree)

I am a 27 year old AFAB person. I had my Bi Salp done this year. An ovary also had to be removed to preserve my health. She had to remove an ovarian cyst but agreed to remove both my tubes. I said I wanted it done and she did it. I have no children. I am married to a man, but when I asked her about if she needed something from him she responded that it was my body and my choice what I did with it and that if I was sure I wanted this she will do it. I didn’t pay anything out of pocket, but that was because the ovarian cyst was the main focus. I found her through the Auraria Health Center, in Denver Colorado, which serves CU Denver, MSU Denver, and the University of Denver. She contracts out of CU Denver hospital in Aurora Colorado. Her main clinic is UC Health Women’s Care Clinic. My insurance plan was MSU’s Student Health Insurance provided by United. There was also an IUD installed to prevent etopic pregnancy and for hormone regulation.
