Practice philosophy: Unique solutions for unique patients
What are you passionate about and why? My goal is to provide excellent care for women in all stages of life. I supply patients with the knowledge to help them make informed decisions about their health. Listening is the key. I try to work together with my patients to come up with unique solutions that are right for each individual.
If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? I would own a restaurant or play the violin in the symphony
What is something you have learned from your patients? There is not just one correct answer to every issue. Input from each patient is invaluable for creating a healthcare plan that is successful.
What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? Situations are not always happy or joyous in OB/GYN. I always want to offer support to the patients who are struggling or having the hardest times. I connect with those patients the most.
What is your personal health goal? Stay active, get plenty of sleep and try to think positively
What are you most proud of? I am most proud when a patient leaves my office feeling empowered, confident and more knowledgeable in their health.
