Educated for
Advanced Care and Optimal Results
I’ve always had a penchant for science and have enjoyed helping
people. I like the challenges of detailed, complex fertility work,
not to mention the ‘journey’ from problem to solution.
After earning my undergraduate degree in biological science, I chose
to become a physician because it provided me a chance to apply medical
science in a very tangible, personal way. I opted to specialize
in obstetrics and gynecology—and then to subspecialize in
reproductive endocrinology infertility—for similar reasons,
only to a greater extent. It’s very interesting cutting edge
science, and the results are the best kind of joy.

Committed to Professional Growth and Improvement
Growth as a physician and leading infertility specialist can only
come through awareness and constant improvement. In order to remain
at the forefront of fertility medicine, I make a priority of getting
involved with professional organizations, teaching and interacting
with my colleagues and Ob/Gyn residents. But there’s more
to it than just personal or professional growth. By staying connected
with others in my field and keeping current with the latest advances,
I can offer my patients every option available to help them realize
their dreams.
