I enjoy the breadth and variety of working in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN). I might offer a teenager options for her painful periods, help a perimenopausal patient with a plan for heavy bleeding, perform surgery, and be part of a baby's birth—all on the same day!. The personal nature of OB/GYN care can be intimidating for patients. I strive to provide my patients with a supportive and open atmosphere so they feel comfortable discussing their concerns without shame or fear of judgment. My goal is to educate my patients about their diagnosis and health. I hope to empower them to make the best care decisions for themselves.
