What do you attribute your success to?

• I have always considered medicine to be a process of lifelong learning and I strive to continue educating myself on the latest practice techniques to provide the best possible care for my patients. I understand that Gynecology is a uniquely personal, sensitive area of medicine that requires empathy and compassion that I prioritize as integral to my role as as physician. My family also instilled within me a strong work ethic that I apply to my professional as well as my personal life.
