About Me

I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained obstetrician/gynecologist who provides routine obstetric care, adolescent gynecology, all gynecologic surgeries and hormone replacement therapy.

I find it rewarding to be present for some of the most important moments in a woman’s life, and I believe in a woman’s right to make her own choices about how to deliver her baby. I have personally delivered one child via cesarean and one vaginally, so I am uniquely able to counsel women on what to expect with each type.

I perform hysterectomies robotically, laparoscopically, vaginally or abdominally, depending on the safest route and a woman’s preference. I also perform urogynecology procedures for incontinence, prolapse and vaginal repairs.

It’s important to help my patients understand their hormones and how they affect mood, energy, sleep, libido and a general sense of well-being to make an educated choice about hormone replacement therapy. I use both traditional hormone replacement and bioidentical hormones, including pellets.

I’m originally from New Orleans but practiced at Tower Health Medical Group Obstetrics and Gynecology in Wyomissing before joining Penn State Health. In my free time, I enjoy road biking, hiking and gardening.
