She has provided education for prostate cancer support groups, local mothers groups and MOPS meetings, healthcare practices, and community symposiums addressing topics such as multiple sclerosis and sexual health. At Anchor & Heart, every appointment is provided directly by Emily and includes individualized, one on one attention. Patients receive the time, clinical reasoning, education, and thoughtful treatment planning that specialized care requires. Emily believes pelvic health care is not optional. It is essential. Every patient deserves to be heard, taken seriously, and given a clear plan for moving forward.
