4worldlovers: I am originally from New York, but my love of the outdoors (not bagels) drew me to the San Francisco Bay Area years ago. I received my BA in Community Health at Brown University and then I attended medical school at Stanford University. While studying at Stanford Medical School, I spent a year in El Salvador, where I provided medical care, conducted research, and became fluent in Spanish. I completed residency in obstetrics/gynecology at University of California, San Francisco, then completed a fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), which includes training in advanced laparoscopy/robotics at Stanford University.

My advanced training in MIGS has enabled me to bring more advanced surgical techniques to Kaiser Permanente. I specialize in endometriosis, fibroids, and other complex gynecologic conditions. For endometriosis patients, this may include excision of implants from the bladder, pelvic sidewalls and other locations, removal of scar tissue. For patients wanting to preserve fertility, assessment of fallopian tubes and ovarian cystectomy with techniques to preserve the ovaries and optimize fertility. I also partner with infertility specialists, colorectal surgeons, pelvic pain and physical therapists and others to ensure endometriosis patients have an individualized treatment plan for this chronic condition. I have taught other doctors and resident doctors throughout the Northern California region, helped bring the laparoscopic hysterectomy, myomectomy, advanced endometriosis surgery, robotic and other techniques to Kaiser Permanente campuses in the state. I am involved in clinical research, present at national meetings on issues related to MIGS and transgender health care and published papers in medical journals.
