Meet Our Providers
Our team of providers currently consists of eight physicians, two nurse practitioners and an ultrasonographer. We all share one common goal: to provide you with high-quality care you can trust in a comfortable, non-judgmental environment.
All of our physicians are board certified and residency trained in obstetrics and gynecology; both of our nurse practitioners are also board certified.
Our physicians provide obstetric and gynecologic services through Portsmouth Regional Hospital as well as the Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Our providers are motivated in enhancing traditional medical care with alternative, holistic approaches and strive to meet each patient’s individual needs with the outmost respect and support.
