I believe medical care is a partnership between the patient and the physician. Together, we need to identify problems and health risks and work toward solutions and long term health goals.

Patients should ask me to explain any information or instructions that they do not understand. I am very happy to address their concerns and to listen to what they are telling me.

I went into medicine because it combines my love of science with the opportunity to have a career that involves helping people. I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology because I am interested in women's health care and like the variety of the practice, which includes obstetrics,surgery, gynecology, and preventive medicine.
