Originally from Germany, Dr. Ruth received the majority of her education in Arizona, including her medical degree from the University of Arizona. She completed her residency at Abington Memorial Hospital, just outside of Philadelphia, and is delighted to return to the west coast and work at Vancouver Clinic.

Dr. Ruth enjoys all aspects of obstetrics, especially helping first-time mothers and fathers embrace all aspects of pregnancy. She also has a particular interest in laparoscopic surgery, family planning, and working with young adults. Her patient philosophy centers around empowering women to make informed decisions that fit their individual needs.

Outside of work, Dr. Ruth enjoys traveling, the outdoors, good vegetarian food, and all things dance. She warmly welcomes anyone who has the patience to help her improve her German medical vocabulary.
