Dr. Chico's commitment to his community was forged in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, when he provided care to underserved communities across Puerto Rico while still in training. That experience solidified what he already knew: medicine matters most when people need it most. He grew up on the island, studied natural sciences at the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez, and earned his medical degree at Ponce Health Sciences University. His OB/GYN residency at St. Luke's Episcopal Medical Center in Ponce made him Chief Resident and a two-time research award winner for work on pregnancy-related liver disease and preeclampsia prevention. Dr. Chico has advanced training in minimally invasive techniques including vNOTES and robotic surgery, and he holds a particular interest in urogynecology. What he loves about OB/GYN is the range: one day he is counseling a patient through a difficult decision, the next he is in the operating room. He brings that versatility and a bilingual practice to MomDoc's Chandler office.

Dr. LaShonda Carlton took the long way to medicine, and her patients are better for it. Raised in Detroit, she earned her chemical engineering degree from the University of Michigan and spent several years in the corporate world at Hercules Inc. and Pfizer. But something was missing. The precision and problem-solving that made her a strong engineer kept pulling her toward a different kind of challenge, one with higher personal stakes. She enrolled at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, and once she arrived, she leaned all the way in, publishing research on liver ischemia and reperfusion, traveling to Peru to assist with cleft lip and palate surgeries, and serving on the Dean's Diversity Advisory Committee. She completed her OB/GYN residency training across two programs, at the University of Kentucky and at Rutgers in New Jersey. Dr. Carlton's engineering background is not just a fun origin story. It shaped how she approaches patient care: methodical, thorough, always looking at the full picture. At MomDoc's Chandler office, she brings that analytical rigor together with the empathy of someone who understands what it means to reinvent yourself, and who believes every woman deserves a physician willing to think deeply about her care.

Dr. Mogor is an East Valley native who took a winding, research-driven road to the operating room. At Arizona State University he studied kinesiology and human physiology, and at the University of Arizona he earned a master's in cellular and molecular medicine, spending his thesis work investigating how hydroxyurea affects red blood cell behavior. That deep dive into bench science gave him something that still shows up in his clinical practice: an instinct for asking why, not just what. Medical school at the University of Arizona reinforced his commitment to underserved communities, he graduated with distinctions in both community service and rural health. During residency in El Paso, Dr. Mogor served as chief resident and honed his skills in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, presenting his work at national conferences alongside the AAGL and the American College of Surgeons. Today, Dr. Mogor's clinical interests span minimally invasive surgery, gynecologic oncology, and high-risk pregnancy. He is a published researcher with peer-reviewed work in both OB/GYN and surgical oncology, but what excites him most is translating that knowledge into better outcomes for his patients right here in the Valley where he grew up.

Dr. Partridge grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and studied zoology, chemistry, and Spanish at Brigham Young University before earning his medical degree from the University of Colorado. He has been part of more than 20,000 pregnancies over the course of his career, a number that speaks less to statistics and more to the thousands of families who trusted him with one of the most important moments of their lives. That kind of sustained dedication earned him the respect of his peers, and in 2002 he was elected Chief of Staff at Chandler Regional Hospital, one of only two OB/GYN physicians to serve in that role. Now focused on gynecologic care at MomDoc's Chandler office, Dr. Partridge brings decades of clinical wisdom and the steady presence of a physician who has truly seen it all.
