In a world where women’s health care is often overlooked or marginalized, I strive to make sure my patients feel listened to, compassionately cared for and supported. I hope to encourage them to become strong advocates for their own health as well as the health of their families. I enjoy developing long-term relationships with my patients and participating in their evolving health care needs. I feel very honored when my patients refer me to family members or friends. The greatest reward is knowing that I’ve helped someone feel better, solve a problem or improve an ongoing condition. Even when the outcome is less than optimal, my patients know that I am their advocate and am here to help them in any way I can.
