Why should someone choose you to care for their health?
I have over ten years of experience in caring for both maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Patients should expect compassionate care and collaborative decision making, regardless of their prognosis. It is also expected that patients demonstrate respect toward all members of the healthcare team.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you are not caring for patients?
My family and I like to travel the world and expose my children to different cultures. I also picked up golf in the last 3 years, allowing me to spend more time outdoors.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I chose Maternal fetal medicine because I can help a "family" and the best part of my field is to be able to have continuity of care with future pregnancies in the same family.
