Professional Experiences
My professional experience includes being an Assistant Clinical Professor of OB/GYN, as well as an Expert Reviewer, Guest Lecturer, and Medical Director for a Multi-specialty Group.
Relevant Experiences
I do have expertise in Environmental medicine, and do some lecturing on the topic and have taken courses on the subject.
I practiced obstetrics for over 25 years, and though I no longer do deliveries, I do see pregnant women, particularly during the first trimester and do pregnancy planning.
I have a great deal of experience with IUD legal issues and feel I can be of assistance on this matter.
I have delivered thousands of babies throughout my career. Although I stopped doing deliveries 10 years ago, the standard of care has not changed since then concerning doctors being available to care for the patient, but I recognize that this can be an issue.
During my long career as a GYN surgeon, I performed many hundreds of hysterectomies and taught doing them at USC County Hospital to residents training to become surgeons.
