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. My internal drive to care for others and my love of science set me on this path. All that, coupled with the desire to be the first physician in my family, my intense motivations have carried me through for all these years. | Initially, my interest was with pediatrics, until my third year clinicals in which the specialty of OB-GYN enticed me. This was the only field I felt, and still feel, gave me a continuous sense of satisfaction for the past 20 years. | Community involvement | I am a member of St Jane’s church in Easton. | Personal interests | I enjoy traveling, gardening and reading fiction.

Philosophy of care | I think it’s fundamentally important that a solid relationship based on trust be created between myself and patients.  This is accomplished by working in a partnership with the patient to accomplish mutually defined health goals, by treating illnesses and diseases using strategies based on the best evidence, and by ensuring excellent bi-directional communication between myself and patients. | Why I entered medicine | After experiencing numerous injuries and illnesses while growing up, I became deeply familiar with the health care system from the perspective of the patient.  While this generated interest in the role physicians play from direct experience, it also created the desire to give back to others by helping to prevent illnesses and injuries, as well as to manage diseases that arise. | Community involvement | I have had ongoing sponsorship for disadvantaged kids who have suffered burn injuries to enable them to attend a special summer camp through the University of Michigan Burn Center. | Personal interests | I work to maintain my own well-being by spending time with my 20-year-love, Susan, my wonderful 4 kids, extended family and friends (as well as my huge dog, Bo, and multiple other furry and feathered friends).  Together we enjoy family movie nights, ice cream runs (not | every | night!), sporting events, and trips into NYC.  I might periodically also be spotted pounding the pavement on a run or getting muddy on a mountain bike.

I hope to build solid relationship with my patients, and let this be the foundation of their care. | Why I entered medicine | I chose to go into the field of OB/GYN as it would allow me to help take care of women throughout their entire life spectrum of gynecology needs. From a personal standpoint, this field of medicine allows me to have a varied work day, from seeing patients in the office to being in the operating room to helping deliver babies, which I enjoy immensely.

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. We like to hike, bike and do other outdoor activities. Dr. Haas is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Vaginal Dryness.

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 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.
