Women’s health and helping people have always been a passion of mine. The continuity of care is essential for me. Ob/Gyn is a specialty where I am able to take care of patients for their entire lives. Most importantly, I value the longitudinal relationships built with my patients. I believe that being empathetic and compassionate are key elements to building rewarding patient relationships and providing great care, and I also make practicing evidence-based medicine a priority.

  • December 18, 2024

    It was super quick. No complaints. I just don’t love ARC or that location in general.

  • December 18, 2024

    Fast , easy communication, well informed and made me feel very comfortable :) thank you so much

  • December 16, 2024

    Dr. Rosa went above and beyond. She was not satisfied with my MRI results so she went ahead and ordered an ultrasound to double check what was going on. She took time to call the imaging center herself to go over my results. She was able to catch their mistake and I am glad she was curious enough to question the MRI results provided to her. Her staff is always very kind and empathetic and they always make me feel comfortable. The help desk, nurses and herself all are wonderful and I would 100% recommend.

  • December 13, 2024

    Although I’ve been coming to ARC for over a decade, Dr Rosa is new to me and she might be my favorite doctor I’ve seen. There’s something both quantifiable and unquantifiable when a healthcare provider of her caliber makes you feel seen, SAFE, heard, understood and you completely trust their knowledgeable guidance all at the same time.

    Great staff!
