Biography
I am an AAGL fellowship-trained minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon who specializes in
the care and treatment of pelvic pain and complex gynecologic surgery. I currently provide care for Veterans at the Orlando VA Medical Center, treating conditions such as endometriosis, pain related to vaginal mesh procedures, myofascial pelvic floor pain, interstitial cystitis, and pelvic neuralgias and pudendal neuralgia. Prior to working at the VA, I was part of a multidisciplinary chronic pelvic pain practice that specialized in treated pudendal neuralgia. My other interest include medical student education and I was the OBGYN clerkship director at Creighton University School of Medicine for 8 years. I also served as President of the International Pelvic Pain Society 2021 and Co-chair of the Membership and Marketing Committee and look forward to helping members engage with the society.
