ID: 726892 Kentucky, USA

I am a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist for 29 years. I have chosen to practice general gynecology only for the past 9 years. The areas of expertise listed, I have been intimately involved with the diagnosis and management of, including the surgical therapy and followup. I voluntarily take the ABOG certification written test each year in order to keep my medical knowledge current and pertinent. Although not formally trained in urogynecology, I have taken extensive coursework along with hands-on training and I am familiar with urogynecologic procedures, their performance, indications and complications. I actively treat patients who have symptomatic genital prolapse, voiding dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain and interstitial cystitis.

The only consulting in this capacity that I have performed has been as a senior medical resident performing potential case reviews to see if they met the criteria for medical malpractice. I possess a broad base knowledge and experience in the field of obstetrics and gynecology and have a 29 year history of no malpractice claims against me.
