Care Philosophy
I chose the field of obstetrics and gynecology for the long term relationships and continuity of care that is becoming less common in medicine. I enjoy working closely with patients throughout pregnancy to promote healthy childbirth and the growth of families. Obstetrics and Gynecology is one of few specialties that allow a physician to see a patient for their annual health visits as well as treating them both medically and surgically. I always take the time to get to know my patients so I can understand how problems affect their lives. Then, we will work together to find the best option for treatment.
