About Me:

My practice style is straightforward and communicative; I see myself as a woman’s advocate. I do enjoy the surgical aspect of gynecological care and offering surgery when needed but I also focus on how to avoid surgery when appropriate with physical therapy, behavior modification, lifestyle changes and weight loss. I like the mix of clinic and hospital time that practicing at Partners offers and appreciate the opportunity to care for women across the whole spectrum of their life. My special medical interests include reproductive medicine and infertility; robotic and minimally invasive surgery; and treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence, including InterStim® therapy.
