Overview
As an Assistant Professor in the Division of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Duke University, I care for women with endometriosis, fibroids, infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, and adnexal masses. This care requires an understanding of the complexities of medical management of these disease processes, surgical precision, and an understanding of peri-operative optimization across the lifespan. My research interests lie in incorporating technology into clinical practice, optimizing surgical care, and improving our understanding and outcomes related to endometriosis, fibroids, and other complex benign gynecology conditions.
