Philosophy of care | I consider myself a teacher as well as a doctor. I believe it’s critically important that women understand the “why” behind the health issues they face. Although the science can sometimes be complex, I always take time to explain in simple terms what is happening to their bodies and their treatment options. The more my patients know, the more actively they can participate in their own care. | Why I entered medicine | As a child I loved science. I also wanted to help people. And I had some personal medical issues that helped me understand what it’s like to be a patient. That’s why I always knew I would become a doctor. It seemed like the perfect combination of my interests and experience. It has been especially meaningful to be a gynecologist. I consider it a privilege to be a part of women’s lives and to be able to help them with complex medical and surgical issues. In many cases we discuss personal issues as well, and I’m honored my patients trust me with this aspect of their lives. | Personal interests | I want my patients to know I’m just like them. I am a wife, a mother of three teenaged daughters and a proud member of this community. I see my patients at the grocery store, the mall, at my children’s schools and at their sporting events. I’m at the same stage of life as my patients and face many of the same issues, both physical and personal. To relax and unwind, I enjoy spending time with family.

I focus on each patient as a whole person, realizing multiple factors contribute to health. I am happy to collaborate with clinicians in other specialties to provide the best care for my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I love science and understanding how the human body functions – and malfunctions.

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing patients through momentous times in their lives, such as the birth of a child, as well as the most challenging times in their lives. I enjoy working with patients from adolescence through pregnancy to menopause, and everything else in between. | Community involvement | My husband and I grew up in the Lehigh Valley and surrounding areas. We met during medical school and then left the area for our residencies. We're so happy to be back in the area and helping patients from our hometowns. | Personal interests | I have two young boys who keep me very busy.

Philosophy of care | I will listen and always be empathetic and treat you as I would treat my family. | Why I entered medicine | It may sound cliché, but medicine was an inclination I had held onto since I was a child.

Philosophy of care | I consider myself an educator and facilitator. It’s my responsibility to help patients understand their condition, and guide them to make health care decisions in which they are comfortable and confident. | Why I entered medicine | I’ve always had a fascination with how the body works. I wouldn’t say that I chose to specialize in women’s health. It chose me. When I was a medical student, I was awestruck when I helped deliver a baby. When I deliver a baby today, I still am.

"Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is basic: treat patients as I would want to be treated or as I would want my family to be treated. To me, this means being honest, open, always providing evidence-based medicine, and helping patients become active members in their healthcare. I also bring a unique interest in ""integrative medicine,"" which is the use of safe complementary or alternative medicine to aid in traditional patient care. In all circumstances, my focus is to recommend only evidence-based use of alternative treatments in the very best interests of my patients. | Why I entered medicine | I love the career continuity and satisfaction that being an obstetrician/gynecologist provides. It allows me to develop long-term relationships with women from adolescence, through the childbearing years, to menopause and beyond. Through medicine and particularly in the field of ob/gyn, I can provide primary care services, and family planning services, and then be the doctor who delivers your baby or operates on you should you require a gynecologic surgery. The fact that I provide minimally invasive surgery to reduce a patient’s time in the hospital is a satisfying experience I can offer to patients. It means a lot to me that I can be the same physician who cares for you and the female members of your family for most of your lives. | Personal interests | My greatest passion is families—my own family and having the privilege of helping others start to build their families.".
