About

About me:

I am a board-certified OB/GYN with fellowship training in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS). I am originally from Chicago, where I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Chicago and my medical degree from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. I completed my OB/GYN residency at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Long Island, New York, and my MIGS fellowship at St. Luke’s University Health Network in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.

My practice focuses on the surgical management of endometriosis, abnormal uterine bleeding, uterine fibroids, pelvic organ prolapse, and urinary incontinence. I moved to Peoria to be closer to home and because of the opportunity to create a practice that allowed me to fully utilize the breadth of my training, including complex gynecologic surgery and Urogynecology. My values are rooted in ensuring that patients feel listened to and safe under my care. I emphasize shared decision-making and patient education so that individuals feel confident in their surgical treatment choices.
