Duke Health Referring Physicians

My lifelong interest in both women’s health and preventative health inspired my decision to pursue a career in medicine. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I provide care for women of all ages, from teens who are just entering their reproductive years to older women who are beyond menopause. I see women for routine exams and health maintenance, and I care for them before, during, and after pregnancy. I also treat women for a variety of non-pregnancy related issues and conditions, including infections, heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, and symptoms associated with menopause. As a Certified Menopause Practitioner, the Menopause Society has validated my expertise in helping women with menopausal symptoms to find relief. I spend time listening to my patients in an effort to really understand what brings them in and how I can best help them. The connection I make with each patient helps me tailor care to that individual patient and her circumstances. With each patient interaction, I learn more about my field, and how to better care for all the women in my practice.
