As director of the Division of General Obstetrics and Gynecology at ��ɫtv Langone, I am committed to providing world-class, equitable, and culturally competent care for women using an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach in a warm and welcoming office environment. I am committed to providing our patients and their families with the best experience and care team partners.

My team and I incorporate innovative screening and treatment methods in an integrated experience and in collaboration with specialists and other colleagues, as well as comprehensive and contemporary strategies to achieve optimal outcomes. We’re on a mission to help combat the maternal healthcare crisis in the United States—an increase in maternal death and near misses due to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

As I think back to my decision to pursue training in general obstetrics and gynecology some 30 years ago, I’m filled with gratitude for the countless families I have cared for. Sharing in their experiences and building relationships that transcend countless years and generations have allowed me to grow as a clinician and leader.

Human kindness and active listening are critical components to providing excellent healthcare. My philosophy is to treat my patients as members of the team and to always strive to include their thoughts and opinions in decisions about their care.

When I’m not caring for patients, my research is focused on maternal healthcare safety and quality management. I am dedicated to incorporating work from the National Network of Perinatal Quality Collaboratives and the Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health into structured clinical quality practices that improve patient safety and reduce the rate of maternal deaths and adverse health outcomes, all while improving the care of patients and their overall experience.
