SHERI B. MERCHANT, MD

“I’ve dedicated myself to helping women be their best in all stages of life, with the most up-to-date, effective care available in obstetrics and gynecology.”
 
“To give the best care I can, I feel it’s important to connect with my patients on a personal level. I want to know and understand you and your concerns. This is essential for doing what’s right for you medically, and it’s also important for helping you feel comfortable with me, personally. This kind of relationship is why many women continue to count on me for their healthcare, even after they’ve moved out of the area. Their trust means so much to me.
 
“With good communication, personal attention and time, you’ll also know that you can count on me – for the medical care you need to be your healthiest and for the personal dedication you deserve from your physician.”

Anuradha Rode, M.D.

         " I love Obstetrics and Gynecology because it gives me an opportunity to serve women throughout  different phases of their lives, from teen years to menopause. It gives me the satisfaction of being able to be a Primary Care Physician, a Surgeon and even an Internist.
there is no other field where you can do all of this and also be a witness to the most precious moments of one's life-that is the birth of a baby. It gives me tremendous joy to see my patients hsppy. They remain assured that I will be there whenever they need me.
I also feel priviledged to care for the same woman for the rest of the phases of her life, be it problems like heavy bleeding,manopause etc. I provide medical and surgical care and also non surgical or minimally invasive surgical alternatives to traditional surgery.
I provide all kinds of surgical and non-surgical options for birth control including ESSURE,Emergency Contraception, and the latest Norplant Implants. I also believe in "Prevention is better than Cure" philosophy and provide comprehensive Annual Physical Checkups.
Since I enjoy doing what I do, it reflects in my rapport with my patirnts and the satisfaction they get after meeting me. The goal of our practice is to provide comprehensive, quality health care for women throughout their reproductive years and beyond."

 Kim Liebert, PA-C

My career in medicine began during my senior year of high school.  I enrolled in a health apprenticeship program and took courses to earn a nursing assistant certification.  While attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison, I worked part-time as a nursing assistant.  I gained exposure to several Physician Assistants and decided to pursue the PA career myself.
I continued my education at the University of Toledo-Health Science Campus and received a Masters of Science in Biomedical Sciences.  My clinical rotations for Physician Assistant studies were completed in area hospitals and clinics of Toledo, OH, Rockford, IL, Oro Valley, AZ and Adrian, MI.

Being a PA in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Women’s Doc has been a wonderful experience and it is a great joy to work in collaboration with Dr. Rode.  The compassionate nature of my personality is evident when caring for my patients as I treat them all with respect.  Women appreciate having an understanding female provider with whom they can relate to and form a trusting connection with. 

At Women’s Doc, we make every effort to respond to the issues and concerns of the patients in a timely manner to ensure they are receiving the attention they deserve.  I strive to continue the utmost care as demonstrated by Dr. Rode and my colleagues.

Kaitlin Getz, PA-C 

Pursing a career in medicine has been a goal of mine ever since I was in high school.  I began by working as a nursing assistant and from there became a surgical technician in labor and delivery. While in college at Taylor University I was also able to participate in overseas medical missions trips. My passion for helping others grew during these experiences and gave me the desire to become a physician assistant.
 
I pursued my physician assistant masters degree from the University of Toledo. During my clinical rotations  I became even more interested in pursuing a career in  women's services. I had the oppurtuitny to work in an OB/GYN clinic as well as in fetal diagnosis and labor and delivery. While in labor and delivery I was able to assist in both deliveries and C-sections.
 
It is my goal in working for Women's Doc to strive for excellence when providing healthcare for all my patients I will work hard to meet the needs of my patients while working along side and learning from Dr. Merchant. It is truly an honor to work in collaboration with such a well rounded and compassionate health care provider.
 
At Women's Doc we understand the importance of having a heatlthcare provider that you can trust. It is for this reason that we are commited to forming relationships with our patients that go far beyond their physical needs.
