I graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 1995 after which I completed my residency training at Temple University in Philadelphia. I seek to achieve maximum surgical benefit through the least invasive methods possible.   I have been providing office procedures such as the ESSURE tubal ligation since its inception in the United States in 2002. I place a great emphasis on nutrition and prevention, compassionately woven together with lifestyle modification as the underpinnings of a healthy lifestyle. I have been part of the Hillsboro community, providing comprehensive obstetrical and gynecologic care for over twelve years.
