General Info

I loved science and was a smart kid, so going to medical school was an easy choice. I had considered a few specialties, but once I delivered a baby, there was no question: I was meant to be an ob-gyn. \n I'm an American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists board-certified ob-gyn and have been caring for women of all ages for two decades. I have many clinical interests including low and high-risk pregnancies, HPV, minimally invasive surgery and menopause, to mention a few. \n One of the most important aspects of my practice is patient education. I try to use every interaction with a patient as a chance to empower them to make the best possible decisions for their health. \n However, what I value most about practicing medicine is the connections I make with patients and their families. I am often involved in one of the best - or, occasionally, one of the worst - days in someone's life. That's a privilege I never take for granted. \n Now that I've entered middle age, I have a new appreciation for my patients who are going through that journey, which can impact many aspects of our health. Due to this interest, I have done additional training and testing through the North American Menopause Society to become a certified menopause practitioner. \n Before relocating to North Carolina, I was honored to be named a Milwaukee Top Doc in 2022 by Milwaukee Magazine. \n With work and parenting five grade-school kids, life is busy. But when I have spare time, I love crafts of all kinds, especially scrapbooking, sewing and knitting.
