Overview
Philosophy of care | I use the highest level of education, superior technology and compassionate care to treat the female body at all stages of life. I look forward to caring for you. | Why I entered medicine | My passion for helping people sparked as a young child, when my family and I took care of my elderly grandparents as they were aging and ill. I also enjoy helping patients to understand their problems and work toward a resolution, whether that be with integrative techniques or surgical skills. I enjoy doing surgery and staying at the top of the technology curve. | Personal interests | I enjoy being outdoors, planting flowers and gardening. I also like cooking and spending time with my dogs, cats and chickens.
