About
Biography
I specialize in maternal fetal medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and am a clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Ohio State College of Medicine. I serve as the chair of the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center’s Maternal and Infant Health Steering Committee and as vice-chair of The Ohio State University Biomedical Sciences Institutional Research Board.
I am the medical director for the Wexner Medical Center’s Women’s Health Imaging Services. In addition to providing obstetric ultrasound services, my department also performs procedures such as amniocenteses, chorionic villus samplings, cordocenteses and intra-uterine transfusions.
In addition to my clinical work, I have helped improve health care across the state in my role as medical consultant for the Ohio Department of Health’s Bureau of Maternal, Child and Family Health. I've helped develop statewide policies for maternal and child health programs covering prenatal care, infant mortality reduction, family planning and more. I've also helped plan and implement clinical programs for obstetric, pediatric and family planning patients.
