Hometown: Naperville, IL
Best part of my work: Having the opportunity to care for women through all stages of life – from the birth of their children to post-menopause years.
What I tell my friends and family: Pregnancy is a great time to motivate women to make big life changes: eat better, exercise and take time out for them.
How I spend my free time: I enjoy spending quality time with my family, being outdoors and trying new things.
What patients say about me: Patients appreciate that I treat them as I would treat my grandmother, mother, sister or daughter. I take the time to explain options and give my honest opinion regarding their choices.
Why I became a physician: I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else. My job combines my love of helping others and working with my hands with my intellectual curiosity regarding the human body and medicine.
