LaparoscopicHysterectomy near Statesville, NC

Biography: When I was just 4, I told everyone I was going to be a physician when I grew up. Throughout school, I always loved science. But I also knew I wanted to work with people. Medicine allowed me to use science in the service of people - the perfect blend of my interests. \n As lead physician at my clinic, I provide very patient-centered care. Not every patient is going to choose the same treatment option, and I always want to tailor their care to fit their needs. I listen to my patients to understand what's important to them. The relationships I form with patients is the most rewarding part of my job. I have been lucky to care for some patients over a very long time period and through many seasons of life. \n I grew up in Ohio and have lived in Charlotte since 2009. My husband - who's also a physician - and I have two teenage boys and a dog, Curry, who is queen of the house. I love reading fiction, cooking and baking. I also love travel and spend much of my free time either planning our next trip or riding my Peloton bike. One of my favorite vacations was spent in Iceland, but I love everywhere we go!

Biography: My journey into medicine began in college when a personal illness gave me a profound appreciation for the dedication and compassion of healthcare providers. I was drawn to the art of diagnosing and developing personalized care plans that improve patients' health and well-being. Women's healthcare, in particular, has been especially fulfilling, as it allows me to support patients through multiple stages of life - whether providing obstetric, gynecologic, preventive or surgical care. It is a privilege to care for women during some of their most joyous moments, as well as their most challenging ones. \n I strive to create a healthcare experience where every patient feels heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions about their own health. As a strong advocate for women's health, my goal is to provide accurate, comprehensive information and to help each patient achieve their personal health goals with confidence. \n I am originally from Maine, and my OB-GYN training brought me to Charlotte, where I fell in love with the city and met my husband. We decided to make it our home, and now our two young daughters keep us on our toes. We love exploring new restaurants and traveling as often as we can. In my free time, I enjoy reading and take great pride in my skills as an avid fantasy football player - with multiple championships to my name!
