Welcome to my web site!

I am now in my twelfth year of practice. And the big news this year is my move to a new office in Hillsborough! Although the practice has really grown over the years I still pride myself having a comfortable office where patients can feel at home. Even if you come just once a year you will get to know myself, Terri at the front desk and Kellie my medical technician and overall office manager. If all goes well their pictures should soon be in the meet the staff section of this web site.

I am welcoming new patients for extensive obstetrical and gynecological care.
After completing my residency at Jersey Shore Medical Center, I maintained a private practice in Lynn, MA for four years, until my wife and I decided to move to NJ to be closer to family. I moved to Somerset County in 2001 with my wife and daughter. In 2002 we had our second daughter. After a difficult search I started my practice in a beautiful office in Manville NJ. Yes I know, ‘Man’ville is a funny place for an OB/GYN but it has worked out well. So well in fact that in November 2008 I moved to a new office in Hillsborough NJ, an even more convient location for most of my patients.

I received my MD degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, School of Medicine and my BS degree from Cornell University. It’s hard to believe but 2009 is my 20th Cornell reunion! Residencies at Riverside Regional Medical Center, Newport News, VA; Jersey Shore Medical Center, Neptune, NJ.

Obstetrics and gynecology deals with disorders of a woman’s reproductive system. An obstetrician/gynecologist is sometimes a primary physician for women. The gynecologist treats women and their reproductive systems, but is also concerned with women’s menstrual problems, disorders of pelvic organs, infertility, or cancer of the reproductive organs. Some tests a gynecologist will order or administer are blood tests, a vaginal swab, or X-rays or ultrasound of the pelvic region. An obstetrician can be a gynecologist, and the two practices are closely related.

The obstetrician deals with problems of the woman and fetus during pregnancy and childbirth, and can act as a consultant to other physicians regarding the care of a patient. An obstetrician will see a pregnant woman regularly to check on her health and progress of her pregnancy. Risk factors in a pregnancy include the mother’s diabetes, a previous pregnancy complication, high blood pressure, or heart disease, and will require an obstetrician to check on a woman’s condition more often.
