Biography: I enjoy the balance of my office practice, obstetrical care and surgery, but I am especially interested in gynecological surgery and adolescent obstetrics and gynecology. I value the relationships I have with my patients through the exciting times, such as childbirth, and through the challenging times, like perimenopause or gynecological problems. I enjoy the multispecialty group and mentality that Park Nicollet offers at Shakopee and St Francis Hospital.
