[MUSIC PLAYING] Hi, my name is Carrie Smith. I'm an OBGYN. I've been practicing since 2006. In obstetrics and gynecology, I take care of women. I take care of girls, starting in their adolescence, and all the way through menopause and an older women. I like to take care of people during their pregnancies. I also take care of people when they are completed with their childbearing, or before they wish to have children.
I am interested in taking care of women during their pregnancies. I will take care of them from prior to them wishing to start their families. I will counsel them about pregnancy. Then I'll take care of them through their entire pregnancy, and delivery. I also take care of women for their gynecologic needs. I will take care of them for just, well, woman visits. I'll take care of them if they have abnormal pap smears, abnormal menstrual cycles, if they need contraception, or any other gynecologic concerns.
My main philosophy of care is making sure that I have good communication with my patients. I like to take a lot of time to listen to my patients concerns and questions. And then, I'd like to take a lot of time to counsel and educate them, so that they can make well-informed decisions about their medical concerns. Definitely, developing relationships with my patients. Certainly, being there for the birth of people's children is extremely rewarding. But even for people who don't wish to have children, or are completed their families, developing relationships with them, kind of understanding their health concerns, and just their kind of whole person, is very rewarding for me.
