My Approach to Healthcare
I have a wide scope of practice caring for women of all ages with a variety of obstetric and gynecologic concerns. My interests include trial of labor after cesarean section and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. I enjoy the opportunity to cultivate relationships with patients, focusing on patient centered care and shared decision-making.
