"Many of us on the faculty have been privileged to practice here for our entire professional lives. We've grown up together. I love what I do. I love that I'm able to do the best two jobs in the world: being a mom and being an Ob/Gyn physician. I love working in a place where people care about their work and each other. Our patients can feel it, and that's why they send their friends and family here too."
