About
Philosophy of care
I believe in treating the whole patient because a lot of choices for how to tackle a medical problem involve other factors in your life. I am a strong believer in preventive and early care rather than waiting until a problem is much more significant. My experience allows me to see things differently than when I started as a new physician.
Why I entered medicine
I have been told that I am a "problem-solver" by personality. Medicine appealed to me because I can help people improve or fix their gynecological problems. The growth and change in medicine fascinates me and I continue to learn about new things that have changed since I became a doctor in 1990.
Community involvement
A few years ago, I became interested in the opioid crisis and in helping some of my patients through their addiction issues.
Personal interests
I enjoy walking/hiking, biking and exercise classes. I spend time with my four children, my husband and my dog.
