As a child, I had a heart condition and spent a lot of time in and out of doctors offices and hospitals. So I was inspired at an early age toward a career in medicine. I love taking care of women in all stages of their lives. We have young, healthy women having babies, and we have middle-aged women going through other transitions such as menopause. The surgical aspect of our specialty is very important to me as I also enjoy and take pride in my surgical skills. What makes our practice unique is not just our very well-trained physicians, but also that we have other very well-trained physicians of all specialties at our fingertips. So when our patients do have complications or issues that require other specialists, we have the ability to get them in quickly. We also have a premier intensive care nursery, so in the unlikely event than infants need help, we can provide that easily as well. I have two children and enjoy following them around to all their sports activities.
