I grew up in Texas, and went to college at Texas A&M (graduated with my BS in 1987). I graduated from medical school at Texas Tech University (1992), and moved to North Carolina for residency training. I did two years of general surgery residency (ECU). I then changed to Ob/Gyn and finished residency training in 1997 from ECU School of Medicine, Department Obstetrics/Gynecology. I worked in private practice for two years and then for the ECU School of Medicine for 4 years. While I worked for the school of medicine, I also went to ECU College of Business and graduated with my MBA in 2003. This extra training makes it easier for us to help patients navigate the business of medicine. It also reinforced the need for customer service in health care.

A woman’s health care is often relegated to the end of her list, something she does after taking care of everyone else. At Carolina Women’s Physicians, we try to make it easy and comfortable for you to take care of yourself. I try to reinforce the importance of health maintenance and viewing your doctor as your advocate no matter what issues you might be facing. I understand the stress of being a professional woman in the workplace and the difficulties of juggling home, family and career. Our goal is to provide you with personalized, flexible, easy to access care. We want women to put themselves at the top of the list, so that we are all in better shape to face the world. I have been a patient as well. I understand how overwhelming this can be. It is our goal always to support you through your time as a patient, with compassion and caring. As a small practice, we can ensure that the staff knows your name, knows your issues and can help with your specific issues. You are never just a number to us.

One of the best parts of being an Obstetrician/gynecologist, especially in a small town, is being able to foster relationships with patients over the course of their lives. I enjoy taking care of women of all ages, and continuity of care is one of the best parts of our specialty and a small practice. I am now seeing babies that I delivered become young women and begin to plan their own futures. No description would be complete without saying that it has been my privilege to work with Sarah Miller since 2006, first as a nurse at the hospital and then here in this office. I learn something new from her every day. She is funny, compassionate and bright. She is devoted to her patients and to providing them with the best possible care.

When I am not in the office, you can usually find me in my garden covered in dirt and surrounded by flowers. My puppies are most often out there with me, trying to eat me veggies without getting caught. I have four wonderful nephews and one exceptional niece, two lovely goddaughters; and I enjoy all of my time with the crazy small ones. I am ever so lucky to have two fabulous sisters and an excellent brother. We talk to each other almost every day, no matter how busy. These kinds of lifelong relationships are the basis of my personal and professional life.
