K. Anthony Shibley, MD

“I have found a way to blend both my love for patient care and engineering by developing devices which make surgery safer and more efficient. Finding ways to decrease surgical risk and recovery time for the patient has been hugely satisfying in my career at OGS.”

Suzin Cho, MD

“I have been surprised to learn, after years of being in practice, that some of the deepest connections I’ve forged with patients have not been in situations where everything went perfectly but in situations where things were complicated and difficult. At times like that, the patient and I have to really open up our communication and trust with each other. Now, what I value the most is having the chance to build a relationship with a patient that develops and evolves over her lifetime of health care needs.”

Regina Cho, MD

“I find the most rewarding moments are when I can help a patient understand the physiology and anatomy behind her symptoms, and then be an active participant in deciding which treatment pathway is best for her. Teaching a patient to understand the “how” and “why” behind a medical condition can be very empowering. I feel privileged to be a part of their healthcare journeys.”

Krista Olsen, MD

“One of my biggest passions is advocating for women: helping them to create the life they want and goals they have set. In clinical practice this is my ultimate goal: to align with my patients and help them to create the goals in their health, reproduction, weight… any goal they are capable of, we work towards, together.”

Robin Ou-Yang, MD

“One thing that will always be true is this: People. Got. Problems. And if I can help out even a little bit, hopefully that makes them happier which then makes me happier. Being able to use my clinical knowledge and experience to educate others and improve their health is rewarding, because that can have a big impact on other aspects of their lives.”

Caroline Haakenson, MD

“I have always wanted to work in improving women’s lives and opportunities. I came to medicine in particular after working with HIV projects in Zimbabwe and Thailand focused on women and pregnancy. The OBGYNs I worked with in those settings changed lives. Working to create equity and inclusion for women in healthcare is very important to me. I am often the only person a woman feels comfortable discussing intimate and vulnerable parts of her life with. In my role, listening and providing comfort and assurance of a plan can transform a woman’s view of her future.”

Samantha Witta, MD

“I view my role as an ob/gyn as a lifelong partnership, so much so that I have returned to the practice that took care of my mother and delivered me! I recognize the profound trust that patients place in my hands during some of the most vulnerable and pivotal moments in their reproductive health journeys. Informed consent and respecting patient autonomy are non-negotiable components of my care philosophy. I have an unwavering commitment to advocating for my patients’ physical, emotional, and psychological well-being through education and conversation. I have special interests in breastfeeding, adolescent medicine, and minimally invasive surgery but truly value all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology.”
