About Us
What’s the Thrive Difference?
I founded Thrive Gynecology in order to provide the best possible care for you. I wanted a practice where I could spend time with patients in a comfortable and caring environment – and where patients would leave their appointment feeling supported, empowered, and confident that their health and well-being are in the best hands.
I’ve heard countless stories from women in the office and on social media that they’ve suffered for years with issues like endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic pain, PCOS, PMDD, menopause, fertility issues, but felt unheard – or worse, had those concerns dismissed outright.
A patient may wait months for an appointment and only have 10-15 minutes with the doctor, or they may see a different provider every time. I wanted my patients to have timely, unrushed, excellent treatment – and to know that they would be seeing me, personally, at every appointment and post-op visit. I wanted each patient to feel like they were truly respected and cared for.
So many women and people assigned female at birth have spent far too long simply trying to survive, to just make it through. That is not acceptable. I believe that all of us deserve the chance to flourish in our physical, personal, and emotional health. This is why I chose the name Thrive Gynecology for my medical practice – and I truly hope you’ll allow me to help you thrive.
