My Video Profile

"My philosophy of care is to treat each patient as if she were my mother, sister, or daughter and to give her the attention and expertise that I would wish for them to receive. I want to provide the best care to women through all phases of their life from pregnancy to providing excellent gynecologic care. I feel it’s a privilege to focus my whole career on providing the best care to women of all ages."
