Welcome from the Chair

Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. We are dedicated to advancing women's health through exceptional patient care, innovative research, outstanding education, and meaningful community partnerships. Together, our faculty, trainees, and staff deliver compassionate, evidence-based care, advance scientific discovery, train future leaders, and promote health equity across the communities we serve.

The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Medical College of Wisconsin provides comprehensive care across the full spectrum of women's health. Our clinical programs offer expertise in high-risk maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, family planning and complex contraception, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders, menopause and gynecologic oncology. Department faculty provide care at Froedtert Hospitals in Milwaukee, Menomonee Falls, and West Bend, Children's Wisconsin, Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center, and affiliated clinics in southeastern Wisconsin.

Education and discovery are central to our mission. We are proud to train future leaders through nationally recognized medical student, residency, and fellowship programs, including fellowships in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Gynecologic Oncology. A newly accredited fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility will welcome its first fellows in 2027. Our research programs span basic, translational, clinical, and population health research, advancing knowledge and improving the health of women throughout their lives.

We are equally committed to strengthening the health of our communities through partnership, advocacy, and efforts to reduce health disparities and advance health equity.
