Bio
I am a board-certified Ob/Gyn from Birmingham Alabama. I have 19 years of private practice experience, and pride myself on keeping up to date with the latest developments in my field - I re-certify every year, and I commit to reading 6 journals per month. I believe in personal, compassionate care, remembering who the Great Physician is as I treat my patients.
