Obstetrics

Complete Care Through Pregnancy & Delivery

Pregnancy is a very exciting time in a woman’s life, and we look forward to sharing it with you. I want your pregnancy to be a smooth, comfortable process. I offer a wide range of tests to evaluate your health and the health of your unborn child. Choose a physician that will remain with you for the duration of your pregnancy.

 

Having a basic personal knowledge of pregnancy and its limitations is absolutely imperative. Feel free to ask me anything you are not sure about and learn what to do for a healthy pregnancy. For your peace of mind, I have a physician on call 24/7, and I deliver exclusively at Community Medical Center in Missoula, Montana.

Complete Care From Pregnancy

To Menopause & Beyond

I offer patients the most up-to-date and appropriate care. As my patient, you deserve helpful medical information throughout your life. I treat everyone who seeks my help with:

​

Obstetrics – Comprehensive obstetric care throughout pregnancy and delivery, education about pregnancy and a physician on call 24 hours a day. I also offer vaginal birth after cesarean delivery (VBAC).

​

Ultrasound – I provide AIUM-accredited ultrasound in conjunction with my obstetric and gynecologic care.

By having the machine right in my office, I make the process simpler and more convenient for you – so you

don’t have to worry about making extra appointments at an outside imaging center. All of  my ultrasounds are performed by myself.

Should you worry about high-risk pregnancy?

The first thing you should know is that high-risk pregnancy is not as bad as it sounds. Many women have high-risk pregnancies. You are likely to be termed high-risk if:

​

  • You are 35 or older

  • You had a miscarriage or lost a baby shortly after birth

  • You are having twins or other multiple births

  • There is an abnormal amount of amniotic fluid

  • You have anemia, diabetes, epilepsy, high blood pressure or an infection

  • Fetal growth is slow

  • Your blood is Rh negative; baby’s blood is Rh positive

  • You had a low birth-weight baby or birth before 37 weeks

  • There is a fetal genetic condition

  • Lifestyle choices – tobacco use, drinking alcohol & the use of non-prescribed drugs

​

Don’t be alarmed if you are told that your pregnancy is high-risk. I will simply monitor your pregnancy more closely, and your chances of delivering a healthy baby are extremely high. 

​

I understand that potential complications can be daunting and scary. That is why I will  spend time with each and every patient to explain options and map out a care plan that is unique to our situation. My main goal is a healthy baby and mom.

Specializing in prenatal care
