About
Philosophy of care
The most important attribute of a physician is to provide compassionate care to patients and their families. I make every effort to treat my patients in the same compassionate and caring manner that I would expect my own family to be treated. Being a physician is a privilege, and I treasure the opportunity to provide that care to my patients and their unborn babies.
Why I entered medicine
Medicine is an honorable and truly unique profession that combines ever-expanding scientific knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge to the betterment of our fellow humans. Being a practitioner in women's health is an especially satisfying aspect of medicine that allows me the privilege and honor to become a part of my patient's and her family's lives at a very special time.
Personal interests
I enjoy traveling, reading, cycling, playing drums and listening to great music.
