Philosophy of care | Finding a clinician you trust is important, especially in obstetrics and gynecology. My goal is for you to feel comfortable sharing your concerns with me and confident we will come up with a solution together. Women play many roles in their families and communities and often put their needs last. I want our office to be a place women can focus on their own health and well-being. 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. I enjoy staying up to date on the latest advancements in medical knowledge and technology. 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. I love to spend time with my family and friends here in the Lehigh Valley and I also enjoy traveling and seeing new places. I enjoy baking, trying new restaurants and staying active.
