Open Hysterectomy near Fredericksburg, VA

Care Philosophy: I will cover my patients exclusively, that means the doctor you see in the office will be the doctor you talk to on the phone when you have a question and the doctor who is in the delivery room with you when you have your baby. I believe this is important to patients and for the continuity of care. Medicine needs to return to the days when it was unheard of to have a doctor you have never met walk into your room and deliver your baby.
