Overview

I have enjoyed working in women's health for the past 20 years. As a health care provider I have been given the amazing privilege of entering into women's stories during meaningful transitions throughout their lives. This relational work truly brings me great joy and satisfaction. My goal is to provide care for women throughout their lifespan with an approach that is up to date with current medical standards of care, personalized and sensitive to individual needs and dedicated to building strong and enduring patient/provider relationships. My husband, Chad, and I spend our time reading and discussing ideas, hiking with our dog, Griffin and teaching our children about this wonderful world.

"I can distinctly remember the awe and utter amazement I felt watching my first cesarean delivery. I knew that there was a baby inside the mother's abdomen, but it was amazing to see the doctors deliver it. To see it just ""pop out"". Still, to this day, I get that feeling of awe and amazement every time I help a mom deliver her baby. I feel so lucky to be part of such a wonderful moment in a family's life. As a maternal fetal medicine specialist, I take care of sick moms, sick babies, and sick pregnancies. Each day, while I get to help women and their families with big wins and happy moments, I also have the opportunity to help them through sad times and some of the worst moments of their lives. It is these hard and sad moments that make the happy ones even more meaningful. I also spend some of my time helping to teach medical students about Ob/Gyn. I really enjoy teaching, and sharing my love for Ob/Gyn with young learners is one of my favorite parts of my job. My other very important job is being a mom. I have three fantastic young boys that keep me busy and remind me on a daily basis how important family is. I love to swim and make jam. Apricot Jam is my favorite.". Dr. Dotters is highly rated in 12 conditions, according to our data. Her top areas of expertise are Chromosome 13q Duplication, Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18, Hysterectomy, and Tubal Ligation.
