Medicine has allowed me to fulfill all my passions – science, education, and serving my community. Ob/Gyn offers the unique opportunity to develop a long-term partnership with my patients and care for them during all stages of their lives. I care for my patients as I would my own family members, listening to their concerns, understanding their values, and individualizing their care. Each patient has a unique set of concerns and goals, and no treatment option is right for everyone. I strive for patient autonomy, shared decision-making, and establishing trust. I also believe it is important to educate patients regarding their health and empower them so that they may play an active role in their own health care.
