My Philosophy

I went into the practice of medicine to help, "to heal", to BE OF USE. I have learned and practiced the art and science of medicine (specifically OB-GYN) for more than 35 years.

I welcome women in all areas of my gynecology practice. I enjoy and am experienced in helping to maintain and enhance wellness, as well as explaining and sorting out the causes of problems and involving my patients in the therapeutic decision-making process.

I am pleased to include patients suffering from menstrual irregularities, PCOS, PMS, hormonal issues, pelvic support/incontinence problems and vaginal aesthetic issues and, if applicable, to do the most careful, knowledgable and up-to-date surgical procedure available.

The years before, during, and just after menopause are a time of passage for women, as well as their partners.  I pledge to: 

**Provide knowledgeable assistance with this transition. 

**Integrate traditional and alternative therapies to maintain peri-and post-menopausal wellness. I encourage communication in the difficult and often embarrassing areas of PMS, sexuality issues, urinary incontinence, and vulvar pain and irritation. I welcome inclusion of my patient's partner in consultation and therapeutic decision making.

**See one patient at a time, providing adequate time for consultation, communication, and teaching in a comfortable, and unhurried environment.

**Provide a knowledgeable "second opinion" to enable informed decision making in the areas of gynecologic surgery and infertility options and therapy.

**Provide reliable and affordable pelvic ultrasound examinations of the ovaries to aid in the early detection of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is scary because it is so silent and insidious; it is unfortunate that most health plans do not cover routine diagnostic ultrasound, the best method for early detection of ovarian cancer.

**Provide accurate, reproducible and affordable bone density measurements in a comfortable and efficient setting.
