I am much more interested in seeing my patients from adolescents or you know their early 20's and 30's through menopause and through their transition into older age care and preventing a lot of those diseases that we can. And I mean what's better than delivering babies?

I practice general obstetrics and gynecology and truly love my job. Who else gets to be intimately involved during so many life transitions - adolescence and puberty, young adulthood, and menopause; not to mention the miracle of pregnancy and birth. My goal is to educate my patients so they are prepared and at ease during each of these transitions. I enjoy getting to know my patients on a personal level, as they return year after year. In doing so, care is individualized and we can form a partnership in health decision-making.
