Brief Intro

I am a woman in a specialty traditionally dominated by men. I feel I have a unique understanding of the special concerns and fears that women may have when referred to a Gastroenterologist. I try to have a straight-forward and honest relationship with all patients that allows for open communication and mutual respect.
