Division of General Obstetrics & Gynecology

Interim Chief: Makeba Williams, MD

We are seven board-certified or board-eligible, US residency-trained obstetrician/gynecologists. We care for women in all stages of their lives from childhood through menopause.

Each of us holds an academic appointment through the Washington University School of Medicine and considers teaching future doctors and ob/gyn specialists an honor and a privilege. We are active in local, regional and national medical societies and provide our patients with medical care informed by the latest available research and recommendations.
