Mona Alqulali, MD, PhD

Statement:
"My goal is to provide excellent medical care in an individualized, compassionate, and caring manner." Mona Alqulali MD, PhD, FACOG

Quote:
"We are working with the latest technologies in minimally invasive surgery and procedures - such as a new minimally invasive vaginal vault suspension and minimally invasive sling procedures. In this way, we are able to have an immediate impact on the life quality of women with urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. We love being able to change lives. One patient said, "You changed my life in 20 minutes"-this is what we strive for--a normal life and a healthy sense of well-being."

Member: AMA, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Clinical Interests:

I am dedicated to my practice and my patients and try to offer individualized care involving and treating the whole patient. OBGYN affords me the opportunity to experience one of the most exciting and rewarding moments in a women’s life – the birth of a child. There is the ability to practice primary care as well as the opportunity to surgically cure women. It is my desire to make a difference in the life of every patient I encounter.

Statement:
"It is my belief that the best outcomes occur when women are champions of their own health. Through open communication, education, and individualized care, I give every patient comprehensive medical care whether it is during the reproductive years, during midlife, or during the menopause years. I welcome the opportunity to provide health care for women within our Clinton community and surrounding area!"

All of our nurse practitioners, Mary Drury, ARNP, Jan Clark, ARNP; and Elsie Buehler, ARNP, have specific areas of interest and are highly skilled at providing preventive health care, patient education, and wellness information designed to meet individual needs.

Mary Drury, MA, ARNP

Statement :
" My goal is to promote health, positive behaviors in girls and women between 10 and 29 years of age. Our comprehensive approach to healthcare gives my patients reliable and useful information on many health issues they will face as they mature; and to provide support in dealing with relationships at home, in the school and in the community."
