About
Bio
I am an OB/GYN with a subspecialty in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility practicing in Cincinnati, Ohio where I grew up. It has been wonderful being surrounded by my family and friends. Having also trained in Medical Acupuncture, I bring a refreshing blend of traditional Western medicine combined with the ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine, that has been around since the second century B.C.
