Philosophy of Care
“I am an advocate for my patients and I aim to empower them with knowledge. I’m here to celebrate the best days with them and to support them in their worst days. I’m extremely passionate about improving healthcare for women worldwide.”

“It is a special honor and privilege to accompany a woman through her health care needs, starting from adolescence, to pregnancy, postpartum, and through the end of her reproductive years. The nature of my practice means that I form a unique relationship with each and every one of my patients, treating each woman as an individual with careful attention paid to her specific needs.”
