I was drawn to reproductive medicine because of a close friend’s combined yearning to be a mother and her experience being told it wasn’t possible for her. I was heartbroken, and it motivated me to become a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. I also love that this specialty enables me to assume many roles in the care of women, combining outpatient care with surgical subspecialty. Today, I enjoy helping couples who are facing emotional, physical and social difficulty. I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment and work together with them so that they can make their dreams of having a family into a reality. I am always the biggest cheerleader for the patient, taking on their hopes and dreams as my personal goals for every patient.
