Being from a large family, I was drawn to Obstetrics. I love building a relationship with my patients and continuing their care through all stages of life. I love surgery as well, and this field allows me to do both. I am committed to building a trusting relationship with my patients at each office visit, so that by creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, my patients feel at home. I am an advocate for preventive care for women throughout their lives, including annual well-woman exams and women’s healthcare screenings.
