About me
Thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage. I'm happy to share a little bit about myself and look forward to being a part of your health care team in the future.
Biography
I am originally from Chicago, but moved to Southern California with my husband to complete our medical training. Not surprisingly, we have not looked back on those cold winters!
About my practice
I have a general Obstetrics and Gynecology practice where I care for women with both normal and complicated pregnancies. In addition, I have a special interest in contraception counseling as well as minimally invasive surgery. I am trained to perform Essure office sterilization procedures, and am certified to place Implanon and Intra-uterine contraceptive devices. I am committed to helping patients take charge of their health by maintaining an open line of communication, helping patients understand their medical history, and aiding them in making informed medical decisions.
How I thrive
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and friends. I also love to travel, especially internationally. In addition, I'm an avid reader and am always looking for new book recommedations!
