Summary
- I specialize in the care of women’s cancers, treating the full range of gynecologic malignancies, including cancers of the breast, cervix, endometrium/uterus, fallopian tube, ovary, vagina and vulva. I am board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Gynecologic Oncology from the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. I received certification in Breast Disease and Breast Surgery from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology.
I completed a Fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology and Breast Surgery at Brown University/Women and Infants Hospital of Rhode Island in Providence, Rhode Island, and a Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of California San Francisco Medical Center in San Francisco, California. I received my medical degree from Washington University in St. Louis in St. Louis, Missouri.
I am a member of numerous professional organizations, including the American Society of Breast Surgeons and the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists, where I serve as a member of the Wellness Task Force. I most recently served as Co-Director of Gynecology at Baystate Medical Center, and as assistant professor in the Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Surgery at the University of Massachusetts Medical School-Baystate. I have extensive experience in clinical research as a member of the Gynecologic Oncology Group/ NRG Oncology.
My clinical areas of interest include minimally invasive procedures (including da Vinci® robotic surgery) for patients with gynecologic malignancies and other complex benign gynecologic conditions, radical procedures for treatment of gynecologic malignancies, risk-reducing surgery in patients with familial susceptibility for breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer, and oncoplastic breast surgery.
