I began this practice to provide all aspects of women’s health care in an environment that is comfortable, friendly and inviting. Whether it’s an annual exam, the joys and challenges of obstetrics, or difficult gynaecologic issues, we work tirelessly to seek the most proactive, non-invasive solution to our patients’ needs. We consider it a privilege to care for a woman throughout her pregnancy and delivery or any other issue she may have.
I am originally from Belleville, IL but have lived in Bloomington/Normal for many years now. I have four children: Alanna, Nick, Serena, Maresa. My hobbies include yard work, working on cars, and spending as much time as possible with my family.
