About
Philosophy of care
I believe in informed choices when counseling my patients. I believe my role is an educator, to make sure my patients are aware of all the different options available to them - and, at the same time, to advise them as to what may be the best choice based on their clinical picture.
Why I entered medicine
During medical school, my toughest rotation was OB/GYN. I spent the most number of hours in the hospital and I slept the least, but it was the rotation that left me the most satisfied. I love the combination of medicine and surgery, and I find my role in women's health rewarding.
Community involvement
I volunteered during medical school and residency, helping at blood drives and free health screenings.
Personal interests
I spend time with my family, exploring our new neighborhood. We visit our extended family in New York and New Jersey. In a quiet moment (not very many), I love reading Shakespeare.
