Professional Statement

My primary passion is to provide care for women with a variety of high-risk fetal conditions, including twin-twin transfusion syndrome, anemia, spina bifida, and various congenital structural anomalies. My secondary goal is to conduct research in the area of fetal intervention and surgery to advance this rapidly progressing field. My niche research areas include exploring new diagnostic and interventional options for management of congenital lower urinary tract obstruction and other fetal urological conditions for which I am currently serving as the principal investigator for those projects and performing independent research.
