About Me
I am an obstetrician and gynecologist for Durham OB/GYN. I follow patients during their teenage years, through pregnancies and menopause. One of the special things about being a practicing OB/GYN is being a part of the lifelong care of a woman. When I meet a new patient I like to get a good history and set a treatment plan that is specific to that individual's needs and problems. Plus, being a part of the Duke team allows me to work closely with a woman’s primary care provider along with any specialist. My favorite part of my job is all of the different things I get to do, from seeing patients in the office to delivering babies to being a part of OR procedures. The variety keeps me very motivated. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my husband and two little girls.

Ratings and Reviews
The ratings and reviews are based on patient responses to the overall provider rating question from the survey. The question reads: “Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst provider possible and 10 is the best provider possible, what number would you use to rate this provider?” Responses are converted to a 5-point rating system and applied consistently to all providers. Learn more about our survey process. Patients who see some types of providers receive a different version of the patient satisfaction survey. Those results are not available on DukeHealth.org.

I chose this provider specifically because she is listed as a certified practitioner by the Menopause Society. I expected a higher level of engagement and support in exploring whether I might be a candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
