Biography: Establishing a solid foundation of trust with my patients is my ultimate goal as a physician. Because I strongly believe the best medical care is tailored to the individual, I find it important to take an unhurried approach during our appointments. Getting to know my patients and learning about their lives and families, puts me in a better position to address their medical needs. I wholeheartedly believe healthcare is a collaborative effort, and this is the cornerstone for all my patient interactions. From an OB perspective, I believe every woman should be supported and given the opportunity to have a vaginal delivery. I am a big advocate for natural labor, and as such, have tremendous amounts of experience in VBACs.As part of my background, I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology and Chemistry from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. I then pursued my graduate degree in Medical Science from the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, Texas. I stayed in Fort Worth to complete my medical education at the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine.
