Welcome to Our Practice

The practice has evolved considerably over the past 22 years to it’s current form. I still love what I do and have no plans to ever stop. Over the past 39 years, I have had the privilege of being able to provide the entire gamut of Ob/Gyn care for thousands of women and newborns in our area of Michigan, from delivering their babies, to getting them comfortably through menopause, cancer ,bleeding problems, and pain, essentially all the aspects of medicine involving the female reproductive system.Over time, and with very mixed feelings, I gave up certain aspects of the practice, and now I am down to the point of having 2 major goals. One is to continue providing office gynecologic care to my established patients who have certainly accumulated over the years.  I no longer provide services in the hospital, but can provide periodic well-woman care, as well as treat most gynecologic issues that arise that do not require surgery.

My other major focus is the provision of care for those confronted with infertility issues.This area of gynecology has been one of my prime interests since residency 40 yrs. ago. I am the only office in Northern Michigan which can offer a higher level of treatment options. I think I have been known for my degree of honesty, and approaching problems in a practical way. When it come to infertility, I think patients have appreciated my approach. You may or may not get this when you go directly to one of the big IVF centers downstate. But sometimes IVF becomes the best or even the only option, so I am affiliated with IVF MIchigan Fertility Centers. If the need arises, I provide a coordinated transition into the process to get you started. It can be a daunting process for some couples, so I provide assistance where I can. Much of the IVF process involves Ultrasound monitoring of the ovaries and/or Uterus, which I provide here in Petoskey.This saves you considerble travel time, and, by coming to my smaller,less hectic office, takes some stress out of the IVF process. Because an advanced highly technical lab is required on the days of Egg Retrieval and Embryo Transfer, and our local population is not dense enough to support such a facility in the area, you will also need to make several short trips to the state of the art facility in Bloomfield Hills.
