Additional Information

I am a Board-Certified OB-GYN with 20 years of experience, having received intensive, high-level training at premier military hospitals. I completed my undergraduate studies at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN, and earned my medical degree from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD. I then completed my internship and residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Madigan Army Medical Center, Fort Lewis, WA. In addition to my medical training, I earned my law degree in just 2.5 years from Arizona Summit Law School in Phoenix, AZ. I am a licensed attorney and an active member of both the Arizona and Utah State Bars. Currently based in Ogden, Utah, I serve as the OB/GYN Department Chair and Laborist Director at two Level I Trauma Center hospitals. With over 6,000 deliveries, thousands of surgical procedures, and countless patient encounters, I have extensive experience diagnosing, managing, and treating a full spectrum of obstetric and gynecologic conditions. My expertise encompasses all aspects of my specialty, and I am highly skilled in handling complex cases with confidence and precision. My legal education further enhances my ability to serve as an expert witness and case reviewer, allowing me to provide thorough, objective, and legally sound evaluations. Having worked on both plaintiff and defense cases, I have a strong understanding of legal procedures, courtroom dynamics, and the nuances of expert testimony. I am articulate, poised, and highly effective in all professional settings, ensuring that I communicate my findings with clarity and authority. With a meticulous approach, deep commitment to my field, and a reputation for professionalism and integrity, I am a valuable asset in expert review and testimony. My combined expertise in medicine and law enables me to provide exceptional insight and support in legal matters related to obstetrics and gynecology.
