Welcome to my Home Page!

I’m looking forward to getting to know you as a patient. Please continue reading to learn more about me, my areas of interest and practice philosophy.

I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology because I wanted to care for women in all stages of life- whether a young woman getting her first gyn exam, shepherding a patient through a first pregnancy (or a fifth!), guiding surgical decisions and navigating menopause and beyond. I have a particular interest and am well trained in minimally invasive surgery. I’m also interested in pelvic organ prolapse (and how to repair it), incontinence. Adolescent medicine and high risk pregnancies. Additionally I like to incorporate complimentary & alternative medicine practices in patient care when appropriate.

I think the best doctor-patient relationship is a collaborative one and that patient education is of utmost importance.

About me…it’s been a windy road to the Bay Area, starting off in Scotland then to Canada, Virginia, Boston, Chapel Hill, and finally here- with side trips to Indonesia, India, Europe and Central America. My interests include travel, reading, hiking, yoga, surfing, cooking, and my dog, Sam

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
