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.
