For Megan, midwifery is her calling. She became a midwife to educate and empower women to take control of their well-being. Supporting women through all of life’s transitions is a fulfilling, humbling and fun job for her. She gets excited to go to work each day as she thinks about the women she will meet and the relationships she will build. Megan is particularly interested in promoting physiologic birth—which tends to be both safer and healthier—and is passionate about working to reduce disparities in maternity care. She speaks Spanish and is committed to improving migrant farmworker health.

Elizabeth chose a career in midwifery after seeing the connection between proper healthcare and individual’s empowerment. She believes patients who have access to a provider they can trust will have less stress in their lives because their concerns are being heard. Elizabeth loves meeting new patients and making plans for their health together. Whether it is discussing a birth plan or finding the right birth control method, Elizabeth finds it fun exploring options with her patients so they can feel excited about their care. She has a special interest in working with Spanish-speaking patients, postpartum support and Centering Pregnancy, a group-centered approach to prenatal care.

Mike has always had a strong interest in surgery. He feels that the procedures he performs directly improve the patient. “It’s much different than treating blood pressure and seeing a number change. Someone can walk in with a problem and walk out with a set of sutures and their problem is gone.” The immediate change provides patients with a sense of success and provides Mike with a sense of accomplishment. He has a special interest in soft tissue lesion removal and treatment as well as complex post-surgical care. In his time away from the practice, Mike likes to participate in outdoor sports and athletics.
