Why Choose Dr. T As Your Surgeon?

I’ve always been a strong advocate for women, influenced by my remarkable mother, who instilled in my sister and me three fundamental principles:

1. Support each other
2. Whatever career you pick in life, strive to be the best at it.
3. Leave this world a better place than you found it. Be of service to others.

These principles have guided me throughout my journey and brought me immense fulfillment.

From an early age, I knew I wanted to become a surgeon. The ability to create immediate, positive change in someone’s life during their most vulnerable moments resonated deeply with me. Surgery was the perfect fit—it allowed me to work with my hands and witness transformative results firsthand.

However, choosing the right surgical field was crucial. That’s where urology entered the picture. Shockingly, only 10% of urologists are female. Yet, women face unique urinary and vaginal health challenges. Where are their advocates? Wouldn’t they prefer a female physician who understands their experiences and genuinely wants to help?

Supporting My Patients

With my mother’s “take no nonsense” attitude instilled in me, I was determined to break into this male-dominated field. Despite numerous challenges, every hurdle was worth it for the betterment of my patients’ lives.

I’m passionate about supporting women who may have felt overlooked or resigned to living with their sexual and intimate issues. No woman should feel alone or unheard in her struggles. It’s my mission to provide compassionate care and support to those who need it most.
