About

Initially setting her sights on becoming a pediatric surgeon Dr. Politano changed her mind when she began performing complex C-sections and hysterectomies. Passionate about women’s healthcare she especially loves the challenges these types of surgeries and high-risk obstetric patients present — not surprising when you consider that she earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil and structural engineering before she went to medical school. Working in women’s healthcare not only satisfies her need for surgical and intellectual challenges but presents her with an opportunity to provide continuity of care often absent in other surgical specialties.
