“The greatest pleasure of being an OB/GYN is connecting with my patients where they are.  I love getting to know their families and stories.  I want your medical care to feel personal – through providing reassurance, solving problems, and discussing treatment options in an approachable manner.  I truly love what I do, so  I’m happy to put it into practice every day.”
