I believe it is all interconnected and you can’t treat one without understanding what’s going on in the others.
I chose Obstetrics and Gynecology because I enjoy caring for women of all ages, from the adolescent to the menopausal woman and beyond. It is my desire to provide excellent care so that every one of my patients feel special and empowered as it relates to their ‘whole’ health.” “Dr. Marshall is a great addition to our Women’s Center team”, said CPA Executive Director Teresa Baran. “I think the women of Southern Maryland will appreciate her calm and competent demeanor, whether they are having their first child or their fifth or just coming in for their annual well-woman exam.”

A Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine goes through the same level of medical training as an allopathic physician (MD). Both types of doctor are fully licensed to perform the full spectrum and practice of medicine. DOs focus on treating the patient as a ‘whole person’, looking beyond individual symptoms. They view the body as an integrated system and focus on preventive care. Osteopathic physicians obtain additional training in the musculoskeletal system and use osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), which is a core set of noninvasive techniques used both to diagnosis and treat ailments in order to achieve or complement your naturally healed state.
