Philosophy of care:

As a gynecologic oncologist, I am responsible for the comprehensive cancer care of women with malignancies of the reproductive tract. I also enjoy taking care of women with noncancerous conditions, especially using advanced laparoscopic/robotic surgical techniques.

I am originally from Chicago, but have lived in California for almost 20 years. I spent my postgraduate training years on Los Angeles, then went back to Chicago to teach at Rush University and Cook County Hospital. I lived in the Bay Area from 1996 to 1999, and then started an office in San Diego, where I practiced from 1999 to 2007. I moved back to the Bay Area to join PAMF in 2007 and am happy to be part of an awesome team of health care providers.
