I encourage women to be responsible for their own health, and guide them toward that goal, emphasizing exercise and nutrition. My approach is holistic, but for certain problems, surgery or medications offer the best solutions. I encourage my patients to explore alternative treatments for problems that are not well-addressed in allopathic medicine.

During pregnancy and in the delivery room, I intervene as little as possible, with the belief that pregnancy is a natural human condition. I encourage my patients to find a philosophy of birthing that works for them rather than imposing one.

In the operating room, I use the least invasive techniques possible. I will adopt new techniques
and materials only after I feel there is enough
data to support the safety and efficacy of those techniques.

In general, I try to find solutions for problems
that fit the patient rather than the inverse.
