Becoming an OB/GYN certainly wasn’t the easiest road. The training was rough to say the least – working 80 to 100 hours per week for four years in one of the most challenging fields of medicine. After residency, things improve somewhat, but the hours are still long with middle-of-the-night phone calls and trips to the [...]
I saw a patient of mine yesterday named Shannon. I have been her doctor ever since I started my practice more than 12 years ago and I look forward to our annual catch-up sessions. When we met she was a nervous high-school senior, and I have watched her grow into a confident businesswoman. She met [...]
I saw a new patient Sonia, who was referred to me by her sister Sandra. Sandra has been my patient for 12 years and I have delivered all three of her daughters. Sandra insisted that I see her sister because she felt that I was the “best Ob ever” and I needed to take care [...]

When I was 36, I went through a divorce. I found myself single for the first time in 15 years and had no idea what my future would hold. My ex and I had two kids together but I wondered if, one day, I would want to expand my family with someone else. What if [...]
The beginning of a new year is a great opportunity to take a look back, to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished, and also to recognize things you’d like to change in the future. As OB/GYN’s, we’d like to suggest some new year’s resolutions that we’d love to see each of our patients make and keep. Wishing [...]
I’m just back from a week off and made my morning rounds. I visited a mother who I had cared for during her pregnancy that Dr. Hill covered while I was gone. She came into the office for her routine visit at 29 weeks and she had very high blood pressure and was spilling protein [...]
