I am a strong advocate for women’s health and health education. In my clinical practice as an OB-GYN, I specialize in gynecologic surgery, including minimally invasive procedures, and pregnancy care. Recently going through my first pregnancy and giving birth to my baby boy helps me better relate to my pregnant patients and understand what their bodies are going through — especially the parts that aren’t so great!

Finding the right OB-GYN is so important. Your OB-GYN is by your side through all phases of life and should make you feel comfortable discussing the most intimate parts of yourself. With each patient I see, I devote my complete attention to them, striving to understand their needs and find the best way to care for them in a personalized way.

My passion for health education led me to create my own podcast, “For Vaginas Only.” I love that this podcast allows me to share empowering knowledge with an audience beyond the patients I see at the clinic. In each episode, I discuss a wide range of female health topics, from birth control and recurrent UTIs to vaginal discharge, sex, and relationships in a simple, accessible way.  

I believe that all women should understand their bodies and feel empowered to take an active role in their health, and I’m so happy to be a part of Flo to help spread health information far and wide.

I’m a first-generation American — my family comes from Trinidad. I try to visit once a year and especially love the music and Carnival. Travel is a huge passion of mine, and I love to explore new places whenever I can.
