Biography
I completed the B.S./M.D. program through Youngstown State University and Northeastern Ohio Medical University in 2008. I completed my residency at Aultman Hospital in Canton in 2012 and served as Executive Chief Resident in 2011-2012. I was in private practice from 2012-2025 and joined the Cleveland Clinic in 2025. While always stiving to learn more, I obtained my Masters in Business Administration with a specialization in Healthcare Management, from Youngstown State University in 2023. I have served on numerous committees at Cleveland Clinic Mercy hospital and Aultman Hospital including serving as Vice-Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 2018 to 2022 and Chair of the department from 2023 to 2025. I served on the Medical and Surgical Executive Committees of Aultman Hospital during that time as well. While education and service are very important, the best part of my job is taking care of patients. I truly love taking care of patients at all stages of life and in good and difficult times.

For the first time in a while I felt seen and heard. I''m use to having my gynecological concerns brushed off, and Dr. Willard showed genuine concern for me as a person, and listened and responded to my concerns in a caring manner.
