Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I am committed to providing care that aligns with best practices in the field of Urogynecology, which strives to individualize care through a comprehensive approach.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Open dialogue, transparency and effective communication are key components to providing shared decision making while discussion patient needs. My goal is to make patients feel comfortable confiding in me so we may get to the root of their issue and work together to improve their quality of life.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
I enjoy cooking, traveling and spending time with my family.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
Urogynecology is a beautiful mix of art and science, and there is no "one size fits all" approach to pelvic health and wellness. It gives me joy to help my patients significantly improve their quality of life and take ownership of their health and wellness.
