Doctors in Phoenix, AZ

Anushriya was born in India and grew up in Arizona, where she developed a fascination with the science behind human development. At Arizona State University, she dove deep into genetics, cell biology, and developmental biology before heading east to New York for her physician assistant training at Hofstra University. That cross-country move expanded her clinical world, rotations in OB/GYN, internal medicine, pediatrics, and surgery gave her a panoramic view of patient care. But it was women's health that pulled her in and held on. Anushriya returned to Arizona and joined MomDoc's Estrella office, where she brings that multidisciplinary training to every patient encounter. She is fluent in Hindi, which allows her to connect with patients and families in their preferred language.

Bella grew up in Houghton, Michigan, a place where it can snow for six months straight, so when she says she was excited to move to Arizona, she means it. At Michigan Technological University, she didn't just study human biology; she built community around it, founding the MTU Pre-Health Mentoring Program and leading the Student Well-Being Advocates as president. That impulse to lift up the people around her followed her to Marquette University, where she completed her PA training with clinical rotations in OB/GYN, surgery, and an international rotation in Belize that broadened her perspective on healthcare delivery in under-resourced settings. Bella is also a published researcher, with first-author work on arterial stiffness responses. What drew her to women's health was the relationship-based nature of the work, the chance to walk alongside patients through major life moments rather than treating a single episode. She is also a certified lactation consultant, a credential that reflects her belief that comprehensive care means showing up for patients beyond the exam room. Bella brings that same energy to MomDoc: curious, thorough, and ready to build something meaningful with every patient.

Denise was born in the Philippines and moved to Phoenix as a child, growing up in the Valley for more than fifteen years before setting out on her own path through medicine. After earning her undergraduate degree at Arizona State University, she moved across the country to Worcester, Massachusetts, where she completed both her PA training and an MBA in Healthcare Management at MCPHS University. It was during her women's health rotation at St. Vincent Hospital that everything came together: assisting in deliveries, working through complex obstetric cases, and seeing firsthand how the right provider can change the trajectory of a patient's pregnancy. That experience made her certain she wanted to focus on women's health. Now back in the Valley, Denise brings a perspective shaped by both clinical depth and a business-minded approach to healthcare. She is especially drawn to labor and delivery and contraception counseling, and she values the kind of unhurried, honest conversations that help women feel confident in their care decisions.

Dr. Gambou was born in Bordeaux, France and moved to the United States at fifteen, attending a French high school in the LA area. That early experience of navigating two cultures instilled an adaptability that has shaped her ever since, she speaks French and Spanish alongside English, and she has practiced medicine across three continents. As an undergraduate at Cal State Northridge, she completed an international internship at University Hospital of Brazzaville in Congo, an experience that deepened her commitment to serving women regardless of background or circumstance. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine before completing her OB/GYN residency at Rutgers Health/Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in New Jersey. There, she managed high-risk pregnancies and trained in minimally invasive techniques including DaVinci robotic surgery, while also serving on the Resident Wellness Committee, a role that reflects her belief that good medicine starts with taking care of the people who provide it. Dr. Gambou brings that same philosophy to her patients at MomDoc: meet people where they are, listen first, and never underestimate the power of feeling understood.

Dr. Arostegui grew up in the Dominican Republic, where his grandfather, a cardiologist, planted the seed for a life in medicine. Surrounded by women in his family from an early age, he found himself drawn to OB/GYN for the way it blends clinical care, primary care, and procedural skill into a single specialty. He earned his medical degree at Universidad Iberoamericana in Santo Domingo and, before residency, worked in gynecological oncology consulting and surgical services at CEDIMAT. A move to New York brought him to the Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone, where he conducted translational research in ovarian and endometrial cancers. He went on to complete his OB/GYN residency at BronxCare Health System, affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Along the way, Dr. Arostegui has also served as a general practitioner and Spanish-English interpreter during a U.S. armed forces medical mission, providing surgical care to underserved communities in his home country. It is a thread that runs through his career: a pull toward the places and people where his skills can do the most good. What excites him now is building long-term relationships with patients, the kind of practice where he can follow a woman's health across years, not just visits.

Dr. Raffoul brings a worldly perspective to her practice, someone who appreciates different cultures, different flavors, and the different ways women experience their health. She earned her medical degree from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Nicaragua and has spent the last 22 years refining her clinical expertise. Her approach to OB/GYN care centers on honest, straightforward communication and the belief that every patient deserves a provider who truly listens. Whether guiding someone through a high-risk pregnancy or navigating a complex gynecologic concern, Dr. Raffoul treats each visit as a chance to build real trust. She joined MomDoc's Indian School office to do exactly the kind of medicine she set out to practice: thorough, personal, and always focused on the whole woman.

Dr. Boyce's path to medicine began far from the Chicago hospitals where he would eventually train. Born and raised in the Republic of Panama, he came to the United States for his education and never looked back, though the journey took him to more places than most physicians see in a career. After medical school at the University of Illinois and residency rotations at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago and Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Dr. Boyce took a turn that set him apart: he joined the U.S. Air Force. Stationed at Loring Air Force Base in Maine, he served as Chief of OB/GYN Service at the 42nd Strategic Hospital, caring for military families in one of the most remote posts in the country. That experience, delivering babies in a setting where resourcefulness mattered as much as technique, left a lasting mark on his practice style. After his military years, Dr. Boyce built a private practice in Wisconsin before relocating to Arizona, where he co-founded Westridge OB/GYN. He has also carried his skills abroad, providing surgical care on medical missions in Peru. Dr. Boyce first worked with MomDoc in 2013, stepped away for a time, and returned with the conviction that he still has more to give.

Jessica grew up in the small town of Clover, South Carolina, and will proudly tell you she is a lifelong Gamecock fan. She attended the University of South Carolina Honors College before earning her PA degree from the university's School of Medicine. Between undergrad and PA school, she worked as an Emergency Room Technician at Lexington Medical Center and as an EMT-Basic, experiences that taught her to think quickly, stay composed, and connect with patients during their most vulnerable moments. She also mentored fellow students as a Graduate Physiology Academic Support Leader. It was during her women's health rotation that Jessica found her calling. The combination of building lasting patient relationships and the hands-on clinical work spoke to something she had been looking for throughout her training. Now in the Phoenix area, she brings that South Carolina warmth and ER-sharpened composure to MomDoc, where she is excited to care for women across every stage of life.

Liz grew up in Boise, Idaho, and made her way to Utah for her undergraduate years at BYU, where she studied public health and discovered a love for the intersection of patient education and hands-on care. Before PA school, she worked as a Medical Assistant and eventually Lead Medical Assistant at a family medicine clinic, and she served as an Anatomy Lab Teaching Assistant at BYU. Those experiences confirmed what she already suspected: she wanted to be in the room with patients, not behind a desk. Liz completed her PA training at Midwestern University in Glendale, rotating through specialties ranging from emergency medicine to maternal-fetal medicine. It was her women's health rotations that sealed the deal. She was drawn to the way OB/GYN care lets her walk alongside women through every stage of life, from first prenatal visits to well-woman care and everything in between.

Megan grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and studied nutritional sciences at the University of Missouri before heading west to Midwestern University in Glendale for PA school, trading Midwest winters for Arizona sunshine was an easy decision. It was during her clinical rotations that everything clicked. Working with women in an OB/GYN setting, Megan discovered the kind of provider she wanted to be: one who empowers patients with knowledge and walks alongside them through every stage. That background in nutrition gives her a distinctive lens on women's health, connecting the dots between lifestyle, wellness, and medical care in a way her patients find refreshing.

Most people know her as Shep. Born in Alabama and raised in Florida, she planted deep roots at Florida State University, earning both her undergraduate degree in exercise physiology and her PA master's there, Go Noles. Before PA school, Shep spent three years working in dermatology and served as a research assistant on a breast cancer survivorship study. The research pulled her closer to women's health, but it was her OB/GYN clinical rotation that sealed the decision. Watching the strength of the female body up close, and discovering the kind of provider-patient relationship that women's health makes possible, she knew she had found her specialty. As a National Health Service Corps Scholar, Shep has always felt the pull toward service. She has volunteered with the Ronald McDonald House, served on the FSU College of Medicine Council on Diversity and Inclusion, and joined a medical mission trip to Panama. That instinct carries into her daily practice, where she brings the same energy to a routine well-woman visit as she does to a complicated case. Shep believes women's health is as much about empowerment as it is about medicine, and she is here to deliver both.

Rochelle's nursing career began in 1971 in Dayton, Ohio, and in the decades since, she has built one of the most distinctive resumes in the Valley. She was a student in only the second OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner class ever offered in Arizona, becoming the 202nd OB/GYN NP in the state at a time when the role was still being defined. She spent over sixteen years in reproductive medicine at Arizona Reproductive Medical Specialists, where she coordinated clinical drug trials, performed ultrasounds and endometrial biopsies, and walked alongside couples navigating infertility. That work earned her the Award of Excellence in the Field of Assisted Production and led to published research in reproductive medicine. Along the way, Rochelle also taught the next generation, serving as an Adjunct Associate Professor and PA Program Lecturer at Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine's Southwestern Center in Phoenix. Earlier in her career, she cared for patients across obstetrics, antepartum, postpartum, gynecology, and the nursery at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, the kind of full-spectrum experience that gives her an intuitive sense of continuity most providers have to learn from textbooks. Rochelle joined MomDoc in 2013, bringing with her a career's worth of clinical wisdom and a deep understanding of what women need at every stage.
