MY PHILOSoPHY

My belief is that medicine is an art form and a science. This philosophy allows me to bring individual creative solutions to each person’s health concerns. In my practice, I bridge the most current, science-based medical research with proven holistic, or alternative treatments, always adhering to the current standard of care within each field of medicine I touch upon. This method has proven very effective and complimentary for achieving positive results with my patients.

The core of my practice entails the “art” of active listening to each woman’s story with compassion and interest so that she is heard and seen as a unique individual. I offer ample time for a detailed assessment of their medical and psychological herstory, current health issues and goals so as to develop a treatment plan. This is supplemented by relevant educational materials and resources to expand knowledge, teach about how a woman’s body works and to support self-care.

I believe in breaking down the barriers of embarrassment and shame about expressing intimate details of an individual’s life so that trust and confidence can be built into our relationship. My patients are given professional guidance and full participation in decision-making related to their well-being.

The “science” of my practice is based on my medical degree and over 30 years of experience, providing comprehensive holistic medical care to women as an OB/GYN. I keep up-to-date with medical research and developments. My focus is to provide medical guidance for women through midlife and beyond, by a thorough herstory taking, physical exam and blood tests with a focus on the balance and harmony between mind and body.
