Catherine M. Bonk

MD, MPH, FACOG, Emeritus

“I am continually awestruck at the opportunity the practice of Obstetrics and Gynecology gives me to be with women and families at such important times in their lives. I find my patients’ commitment to taking care of themselves and their families truly inspirational. It is a privilege to be a part of that process in even a small way.”
