This week we introduce you more to our in-house physician, Dr. Abby Dennis! Abby shares about her path to becoming a birth professional, and what made her pursue the scope of an obstetrician-gynecologist. We also dive into some of the challenges and misconceptions that surround being an OB in the US healthcare system.
