I am board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, Maternal Fetal Medicine, and Medical Genetics. I specialize in providing care to fetuses suspected of having congenital birth defects, as well as mothers with genetic disorders.
As a medical geneticist, I also specialize in seeing patients with musculoskeletal disorders including forms of short and tall stature. My group has on-going research efforts both laboratory and clinical trials in the area of individuals with genetic disorders at all ages.
