My Approach to Healthcare

I take care of low-risk OB patients and general GYN including wellness exams, contraception, and problem GYN visits. I believe in patient centered care and shared decision making. I hope to make every patient feel heard and respected. I strive to give them the time they need and deserve and a space to feel comfortable.
