MenstrualDisorders near Albemarle, NC

Biography: Recently a patient came in for her annual physical exam who had lost 120 pounds since her previous annual physical a year earlier. She credited me with motivating her and giving her the tools to start her weight loss journey. Another patient came in for her post-op appointment after having a hysterectomy for a large fibroid uterus. She no longer had heavy bleeding or pelvic pressure and was feeling more energetic and comfortable with exercise. \n I went into medicine to help girls and women with their medical problems and that's the kind of feedback that motivates me to keep learning and be the best doctor I can be for my patients. \n Whether working with patients or other health care professionals, I consider myself an educator and adviser. Though I'll take a conservative approach to treating you, I will encourage you to use all therapeutic options if I think they will help you achieve the best long-term outcome. Those therapies can include medication, supplements, exercise, surgery, physical therapy, counseling, etc. \n I learned the value of this collegial approach twice during my medical training. The first time was as a student at UNC School of Medicine, when I received the Christopher C. Fordham Award for helping others to perform at their best. During my residency at the University of Florida College of Medicine a few years later, I was named OB-GYN Resident Teacher of the Year. \n I am a proud wife and mother of two. When not working, I love to be outside doing just about anything, and love reading, cooking, listening to live music, and practicing the drums.

Biography: I am a specialty trained surgeon and urogynecologist with experience treating women's health problems, including pelvic organ prolapse, uterine prolapse, cystoceles and rectoceles. I also specialize in treating bothersome bladder issues, including urinary incontinence and overactive bladder. \n Following a residency in obstetrics and gynecology, I completed a three-year fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (urogynecology). My training combines elements of gynecology, urology and pelvic reconstructive surgery. This allows me to provide comprehensive treatment options that can improve a woman's quality of life. \n When surgery is necessary, I specialize in a minimally invasive approach, which leads to faster recovery, less pain and a shorter hospital stay. I am committed to using the latest and most effective treatments available and to providing exceptional care to my patients. \n My aim is to listen to and work with patients to help them make an informed decision regarding their pelvic health, with a goal of ultimately improving their quality of life.

Biography: As the daughter of a cardiologist father and ICU nurse mother, I have always had a love of medicine and caring for people. Putting others first was always a priority for me and my family. \n I fell in love with obstetrics and gynecology in residency, where I learned I could get to know a patient throughout their lifetime. I could be with them through the milestones of first menstrual period, pregnancies and even surgical management, if needed. Being an ob-gyn lets me do it all -from delivering babies to hysterectomies and everything in between. I am so blessed to be able to maintain a relationship with, and take care of, women and their families for life. \n I strive to treat each patient as an individual with care specialized for them, but also as I would treat any member of my family. Seeing an ob-gyn, especially for the first time, can be scary and I want to make it as comfortable and easy as possible. \n At home, I am a wife and a mother of two boys and a Bernedoodle puppy. I love exercising, my Peloton bike and spending time outside with my family and friends.

Care Philosophy: I strive to provide every patient with the same level of care and compassion that I would if they were a member of my own family My goal is to form a lifelong relationship with each patient and their family I am committed to providing excellence in women s healthcare based on every woman s unique needs and concerns during every stage of her life
