Why Did You Become a Fertility Expert?
The ability to build a family is one of the great joys one can experience in life. Being a fertility specialist allows me to help patients realize this dream, and I can’t imagine a better way to spend my day!

I absolutely love the teamwork that happens at Boston IVF. Each patient that walks through the doors will be treated by an amazing team of people that will cheer them on every step of their journey. We all work together to achieve success for each patient.

What is Your Approach to Patient Care?
I approach each patient with an open mind and an open heart. The journey to success is complicated, and emotional. I work together with my patients and our team to talk through the challenges and come up with new plans, whether they be alternative treatment plans specifically, or options for additional emotional support. I also never hesitate to collaborate with my wonderfully experienced colleagues at Boston IVF to get the best collective approach drawing, upon decades of experience.

Have Any Patients Truly Inspired You?
Every patient is an inspiration! The hope and perseverance of my patients to become parents leaves me in complete awe.

How Do You Spend Your Free Time?
Spending time outdoors is what I love best. Whether it’s hanging out in the backyard, finding local hikes, or heading to the beach, exploring nature together is how I feel refreshed at the end of a week.

Warm and easy going . I really enjoy meeting new patients and getting to know them as we work together.
