Hometown: Naperville, IL
Best part of my work: Having the opportunity to care for women through all stages of life – from the birth of their children to post-menopause years.
What I tell my friends and family: Pregnancy is a great time to motivate women to make big life changes: eat better, exercise and take time out for them.
How I spend my free time: I enjoy spending quality time with my family, being outdoors and trying new things.
What patients say about me: Patients appreciate that I treat them as I would treat my grandmother, mother, sister or daughter. I take the time to explain options and give my honest opinion regarding their choices.
Why I became a physician: I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. My job combines my love of helping others and working with my hands with my intellectual curiosity regarding the human body and medicine.

Friendliness
Provider was kind, respectful, listened, reviewed my chart, did pelvic exam then provided educated and informed options

Doctor was excellent and very knowledgeable
I have often found great care but not always.
I feel the provider is very knowledgeable.

Beyond excellent care and helpful in everyway!
