About
Bio
I was trained at NYU Medical Center in New York. I have been practicing OB/Gyn in Atlanta since 1991 with a primary focus on comprehensive care for women throughout their complete life-cycle. This includes contraceptive care, pregnancy care, infertility treatment, general gynecologic care and care of the menopausal women.
I have a special interest in the treatment of fibroids and in minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. This includes vaginal surgery as well as Robotic surgery.
I have travelled exptensively, and have a very diverse patient clientele, thus am very culturally sensitive.
I believe good medical care is a partnership between patient and physician, thus provide as much information as possible so that patients can participate fully in their health care.
