I was born in New York City and spent most of life on the East Coast. I went to college and medical school at Brown University and then moved to Boston to complete my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School. I stayed in the area for my fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Mount Auburn Hospital, Harvard Medical School. I joined Kaiser Permanente because I truly believe that they are leaders in the health care world by providing holistic care. I appreciate that no patient is seen in isolation. Each patient is cared for by a team of doctors, working together to make her as healthy as she can be. I knew from a young age that I always wanted to be a doctor because I loved helping people. My desire to help people and my love of working with my hands helped me quickly realize that my talents would be best suited in a field where I spend time in the operating room. I have also always had a passion for women’s health. As a physician, I have been able to take care of women from all walks of life from all over the world. Each day, my patients teach me something new, which makes me a better physician. I am honored to be recognized as a 5280 Magazine Top Doctor in 2022 and was also honored there in 2019 and 2020.
