She is very excited to return to her hometown and to practice Obstetrics at the same hospital her younger sister, now a Pediatric Neuroradiologist, was born at!

Dr. Barhaghi is double board-certified and a diplomate of the America nBoard of Integrative Medicine and the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. She takes pride in an integrative practice approach that incorporates all factors that influence overall health, including lifestyle, environment, and interpersonal relationships when considering treatment options.

Alongside holistic treatment options, Dr. Barhaghi feels that health promotion and prevention are of paramount importance and emphasizes this with every patient encounter.

She has a special interest in PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility as well as perimenopausal/menopausal hormone imbalance. Dr. Barhaghi loves the field of Obstetrics and especially enjoys the opportunity to guide a woman through her pregnancy journey. She firmly believes that pregnancy and birth are a normal, healthy process—not a disease - and aims to make each woman’s motherhood journey as pleasant as possible.

Dr. Barhaghi remains an active volunteer with Doctors Without Borders; her most recent assignment was in 2014 at a Vesicovaginal Fistula prevention center in Jahun, Nigeria. When she is not working, Dr. Barhaghi enjoys doing anything that involves a mountain.
