About me
I am the daughter of Haitian immigrants, a first generation American and the first doctor in my family. I was born in New York City and raised here in metro Atlanta. For a brief time, I thought I was going to be a marine biologist but after volunteering in a New York City emergency department during college, I found my love and passion for medicine and surgery. It has been a very long and hard road but after spending five years training in New York, I am so happy to be in Georgia with my family, allowing me to provide services to our Georgia members.
About my practice
The focus of my practice is women's health. I have a special interest in benign minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, specifically robotic and laparoscopic surgery, for which I completed fellowship training. My additional training also focused on helping women who suffer from endometriosis.
Each day at work, my goal is to make our members feel at ease during their visit with me by actively listening to their concerns. It is important to me to not only treat the problem for which patients' present with, but also to treat the whole person: physically, mentally and emotionally.
How I thrive
I thrive best in a supportive environment in which kindness and equality are promoted, which is why I chose to join Kaiser Permanente.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my daughter by swimming, hiking, and visiting the zoo.
