Biography

I am passionate about delivering comprehensive women’s health care across patients’ reproductive and nonreproductive stages. As a general obstetrician and gynecologist, I treat patients from their first menstrual cycle, through menopause and beyond. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I perform gynecologic surgical procedures, including minimally invasive approaches. I also perform vaginal births and cesarean deliveries, and provide prenatal and postpartum care. In addition, I treat conditions including abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, adnexal masses, cervical and vulvar abnormalities, and pelvic pain, and offer contraception counseling.

My patients can expect a compassionate, patient-centered approach when they come to see me. I care for all patients as I would want my own family members to be treated, and I empower them to be advocates for their health needs.

The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is a special place to work and receive medical care. Each clinician offers their unique expertise, and, as one collaborative team, clinicians work together to provide the best personalized health care to all patients, no matter their background.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy exploring the Metro Parks around Columbus and trying new restaurants around the city. During the fall, you’ll find me in scarlet and gray, cheering on the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium.

Academics and research

I trained at a large academic institution and that experience demonstrated just how important attending physicians are in preparing the next generation of providers. I am who I am today because of my mentors and teachers, and I am passionate about continuing to pay it forward. I am a clinical assistant professor, and I work with medical students in outpatient offices, operating rooms and on labor and delivery floors.

    I had a missed miscarriage and Dr. Brown was so incredible I walked out of that appointment with so much admiration for how she treated me and how kind and compassionate she was. I hope to be able to have her as my provider for when we do eventually have a viable pregnancy as well.
