Ashley Marie Thain, PA

I practice patient-centered care with an emphasis on education. Patient-centered care focuses on shared-decision making with the patient and myself, together incorporating medical recommendations with a patient’s preferences. I like to work together with my patients to come up with a treatment plan that work for them while also keeping them and their baby as safe as possible. It is important to me to keep a patient’s mental wellbeing in mind when making decisions, not just their physical wellbeing. Finally, I believe that educating patients about their diagnoses is important so that they understand what is going on with their body, why I am recommending certain treatment regimens, and how we can work together to help them have the healthiest version of their pregnancy.
