Have you ever been to a Korean spa? Perry and I love to go, and unfortunately for us, so do the kids (love ’em, but it’s not as relaxing when you have to monitor their activities). There’s a new one here in a neighboring town,…
This past weekend was my grandmother’s memorial service. She was almost 98 years old when she died a few weeks ago. Grandma was a wonderful woman and we all were sad to see her go, but 98 years? That’s a long life. So…

Christmas is five days away. How do you feel when you read that? I’ve been asking my patients about their plans for Christmas and it’s really interesting the different responses I’ve gotten. Some women are crazy busy with cooking and shopping, and some are just…
You would not believe the day I had yesterday… It’s been a long haul recently. As a practicing OBGYN, every week’s schedule is different – some days I’m in the office, some I’m doing surgery, and some I’m in the hospital managing laboring patients…
