My practice philosophy is: Empowering women through evidence-based medicine and education so that each woman has the ability to make the best decision for herself. Open communication builds the strong foundation for the patient-physician relationship. It is a privilege to walk alongside patients on the journey to wellness.
Something I'm passionate about is: Women have a remarkable role in society. They often influence the health care choices of their children, partners, parents and friends. Time spent encouraging and empowering one woman not only allows her to serve herself but will influence the community in a perpetuating manner.
What I've learned from my patients is: Humility. Every patient encounter has encouraged me to be humble. I have learned to recognize what I don't know and have become very resourceful in efforts to find the right answers.
If I wasn't a health care provider I would be: A chef! I love to experiment in the kitchen and share the experience with others.
