Zachow joins the group from El Paso, Texas, where she completed her OB/GYN residency at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She received her Doctor of Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.

“While in medical school, I realized that OB/GYN mixed everything I loved about medicine into one specialty,” Zachow said when asked why she chose OB/GYN. “OB/GYN contains surgery, which I’ve always enjoyed, along with patient care, continuity and women’s healthcare, something that has always been important to me. OB/GYN allows me to follow patients throughout their lives in a way that other specialties might not.”

OB/GYN services include, but are not limited to:

• Routine women’s health exams and physicals
• Prenatal care
• Robotic surgery
• Menstrual and hormonal treatment
• Contraception management
• Family planning
• Colposcopy
