About Me

My lifelong interest in both women’s health and preventative health inspired my decision to pursue a career in medicine. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I provide care for women of all ages, from teens who are just entering their reproductive years to older women who are beyond menopause. I see women for routine exams and health maintenance, and I care for them before, during, and after pregnancy. I also treat women for a variety of non-pregnancy related issues and conditions, including infections, heavy menstrual bleeding, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, and symptoms associated with menopause. As a Certified Menopause Practitioner, the Menopause Society has validated my expertise in helping women with menopausal symptoms to find relief. I spend time listening to my patients in an effort to really understand what brings them in and how I can best help them. The connection I make with each patient helps me tailor care to that individual patient and her circumstances. With each patient interaction, I learn more about my field, and how to better care for all the women in my practice.

If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with Duke, your out of pocket liability may be higher. We will contact you regarding your coverage and patient liability. If you are uninsured, learn more about our financial assistance policy.
