I’ve been a reproductive endocrinologist for over 20 years at Rush, and a reproductive endocrinologist plays a slightly different role than a general gynecologist — in that we specialize in the complexity of hormones throughout a woman’s lifetime. Some hormonal patterns are normal, some are not. It’s my job to differentiate which of those abnormalities are treatable — whether it be with a non-hormonal method or a hormonal method — and try to balance those hormones as quickly as possible.
Research plays a vital role in my practice. I feel that it’s a bird’s-eye view into the future of women’s health, and it allows me to give many patients hope. I’m able to not only present to them much of what I already know through advanced learning, but also what the future holds for them.
