About
About the Provider
I chose a career in medicine because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of my patients. Helping people overcome difficult problems and improve their quality of life is deeply rewarding.
As a urogynecologist, I specialize in helping women struggling with urinary or reproductive system conditions related to a weak or injured pelvic floor. I am particularly passionate about minimally invasive surgery (including vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgeries) and helping women manage or treat pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and fecal incontinence. I find helping patients improve their quality of life to be very rewarding.
When patients come to see me, I always want them to feel fully informed about their condition and their treatment options, including surgical and non-surgical approaches. My goal is to give you all the information and guidance you need to make the decision that is right for you.
