Care Philosophy: Patient-centered care is the core principle of my practice. It's about you. That's why I focus on giving you medical evidence, options and the tools to discern so you can make informed choices instead of telling you what to do. Whenever possible, I use telemedicine to help us come to you instead of you waiting in my office even during pregnancy. As a Navy brat we moved a lot. My family always envied people who had deep roots in their community. After practicing in Henrico for almost 25 years, I love that I am rooted. One of the most enriching aspects of my practice is the long-term relationships I have with women I respect and their families. It's a very special connection to care for generations of the same family. I hope you will think about making an appointment!

Care Philosophy: My philosophy is to help women realize there is usually a simple fix for their urinary or bowel issues. Problems with vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence are SO common, but don't have to be. My team can help. Sometimes it's as easy as teaching them healthy bladder and bowel habits. The great thing about my field is that it's very symptom-focused, meaning that treatments can be as conservative or non-invasive as a woman desires depending on how much her symptoms bother her.
