What are your hobbies? Traveling to national parks with my fiancé, trying new recipes, board games, and swimming.
Do you have any children and/or pets?I have a childhood cat back home (Buttercup) who I absolutely adore but other than that no new ones yet!
Any other info you want to share?I am interested in education and enjoy being a source of knowledge for my patients. I am also interested in minimally invasive surgery!
Resident Spotlight
“Dr. Neelima Sukhavasi grew up in Nederland, Texas. She studied public health and obtained a Masters in Public Health at Tulane University. She did her Ob/Gyn residency training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Dr. Sukhavasi enjoys being in the operating room and delivering cute little babies! ”
“Dr. Gabrielle Alexander grew up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and attended the University of Mississippi for her undergraduate degree and University of Mississippi Medical Center for her medical degree. She loves the fact that as an Ob/Gyn resident, there is never time to be bored!”
“I have been lucky enough to find lifelong friendships in residency.
After residency, I would like to practice the full scope of general obstetrics and gyn, and can’t wait to perform my own surgeries like robotic hysterectomies after graduation.”
