Physician, Associate Professor
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Department: OB/GYN
I practice general obstetrics and gynecology. It’s a privilege to work with so many wonderful patients throughout their lives. I appreciate the opportunity to help them meet some of life’s greatest joys and challenges.
It's important to me to engage my patients in their care. Together, we can find health care approaches that best meet their individual needs. I enjoy accomplishing this while also maintaining best practices recommended by evidence-based medicine.
Working at Ohio State allows me to have immediate access to the latest updates, including medical practice and research. The best in primary and specialty care co-management is here.
Ohio State also allows us to maintain a connection with the bright, enthusiastic minds that are the next generation of outstanding health care providers.
When I'm not on the job, I enjoy relaxing with my family, reading and traveling.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
I am a general obstetrician gynecologist and the director of the residency program in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I also serve as the advisor for the Ohio Section of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology Junior Fellows Program.
My scholarly work is focused on medical education, and I've received multiple teaching awards. I've published and presented nationally on topics including integrated medical school curricula, medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching evidence-based medicine, oral exams in medical education, benign gynecologic care and other obstetrics and gynecology and medical education topics.
