“My husband is from Chicago and we are excited to be back in a metropolitan area,” Dr. Weinberg says. “We enjoy going to music and sporting events. We have four large dogs and three kids and never lack excitement in our home! I enjoy running and biking and spending time with my family.”
Dr. Weinberg is Board Certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as Gynecologic Oncology. Her areas of special interest are minimally invasive robotic and laparoscopic surgery, sentinel node biopsy, evaluation of women at high-risk for ovarian cancer, and advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer and complex surgery.
