“It has been my privilege to care for the patients in Volusia County and surrounding areas for over 10 years. Your trust and faith in me as your physician is meaningful beyond words! I am truly grateful for the patients and staff that have been a part of The Gynecology Center & Medispa family. This was a difficult decision; however, I feel this is the right decision for my family and I, and I’m excited for this next chapter. I wish you all the best, thank you again for a wonderful 10+ years!”
