After earning a BS in Biology and Chemistry at the University of Alabama @ Birmingham, while playing collegiate Division I women’s soccer, she received her medical degree from The University of Health Sciences – College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City, MO. At this point, the choice of pursuing Obstetrics and Gynecology was obvious.

- PregnancyPreconceptual Care: Because a healthy pregnancy starts before conception, careful consideration in choosing an Obstetrical physician is important. At The Cobb Group, we take a pro-active approach. Our physicians are able to assist with advice and procedures on conception and infertility issues, conduct pregnancy testing, and begin a discussion on health and diet. A preconceptual visit allows our doctors to screen for various conditions to evaluate medical and genetic conditions and immunities, and present the steps for a healthy pregnancy. Through this screening, evaluation, and education process, we optimize preparation for our patient’s best possible experience during pregnancy.
- Cervical CancerColposcopy Colposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix and the tissues of the vagina and vulva. Many premalignant lesions and malignant lesions in these areas have discernible characteristics which can be detected through the examination. It is done using a colposcope, which provides an enlarged view of the areas, allowing the colposcopist to visually distinguish normal from abnormal appearing tissue and take directed biopsies for further pathological examination. The main goal of colposcopy is to prevent cervical cancer by detecting precancerous lesions early and treating them appropriately.

This should include a yearly Pap Smear test, plus a comprehensive pelvic and breast exam. In addition, your physician or healthcare professional may recommend screenings for thyroid disease, cholesterol, diabetes, anemia, bone density and a variety of other conditions.
