Midwife to Doctor to Activist

I came to Medicine 10-years after practicing midwifery and delivering babies at home.

I am a physician, and my specialty is Obstetrics and Gynecology.

I have the honor and responsibility of providing care and skill when a new person takes that first breath.

I have always loved the tableau of birth, the tearful and happy momma and dad’s uninhibited emotional release. The unfledged being is slippery, wet, and in the perfect process of becoming.
