My practice

I am a board-certified pediatrician and internist with certification as a menopause provider from the North American Menopause Society. My primary interests lie in women’s and adolescent female health. Our medical needs change with each decade of life. As a pediatrician and internist, I have developed skills that allow me to listen, treat and respect the women I care for.

I am specifically trained to help transition adolescent girls who are outgrowing their pediatric practices to a medical home that will better fit their needs. The comprehensive care that I provide for this group of patients, includes:

• Primary care for adolescents
• Treatment of dysmennorhea (period problems)
• Contraception
• Routine gynecological care
• Treatment of adjustment disorders and mood issues
• Coordination of care and medical treatment of patients with eating disorders
