As a Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) physician I enjoy taking care of pregnant patients every day, particularly those with high-risk issues during their pregnancy. Through my years in the medical field it is clear that there is a missing piece between the patient – physician relationship that needs mending, and a key component to this is empowering patients to advocate for themselves. My goal is to help improve self-advocacy for physicians as well as the patients for which they provide care and guidance. Ultimately, I want to leave a lasting, positive impact on the lives of my clients who will do the same for their families, friends, and/or patients.
