Personal Profile

Dr. Nordin is honored to be a part of patients’ lives as an OBGYN. She specializes in the treatment of infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, endometriosis, painful and/or heavy menses, polycystic ovary syndrome, abnormal uterine bleeding, irregular menses, chronic endometritis, and premenstrual syndrome. Dr. Nordin is grateful to have advanced surgical training in NaProTechnology and microsurgery. Her surgical areas of interest include detailed evaluation for and treatment of endometriosis with laser excision, treatment of pelvic adhesions, and removal of uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. 

She has a special interest in fallopian tube microsurgery including fallopian tube reanastomosis to correct blockage in the middle of the tube or reverse tubal ligation and fimbrioplasty/neosalpingostomy to correct blockage at the end of the tube. Dr. Nordin performs selective hysterosalpingogram, a more precise form of HSG which assesses each fallopian tube separately, and fallopian tube recanalization which can reopen a fallopian tube that is blocked near the uterus. Surgical techniques include laparoscopic, robotic, microsurgical, and utilization of laser for dissection and excision of endometriosis and other pathology. Surgical focus is on reparative pelvic surgery with a special emphasis on adhesion prevention techniques and preservation of fertility. 

Dr. Nordin provides obstetric care including preconception consultation, prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum care. She is also an Autoimmune Protocol Certified Coach and is in the process of becoming a certified practitioner through the Institute for Functional Medicine. 

She enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, especially in the outdoors.

Personal Profile

Dr. Franklin is an OB/GYN with a practice focus in restorative reproductive medicine, a medical discipline that focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of gynecologic problems through medications, hormones, supplements, and surgery. She is a trained fellow in NaProTECHNOLOGY, a medical science developed at the Saint Paul VI Institute in Omaha, Nebraska.

She applies evidence based medicine and tailors her care to each woman’s individual story. Her special interests include endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, recurrent miscarriage, infertility, and abnormal bleeding. Her meticulous surgical approach restores pelvic anatomy as much as possible while minimizing scar tissue formation. She has a wide experience in minimally invasive techniques, including laser excision of endometriosis. Her goal is to optimize and restore a woman’s reproductive system to help her achieve her life and family goals.

When she’s not in the operating room she loves catching babies. Whether it be minimal intervention with birthing in hands-and-knees or safe high-risk cesarean section, she enjoys balancing her patient’s goals with safety for mother and baby. When things don’t go as planned, she is there for her patients to help them process their experience. She aims to reduce cesarean section rates by offering her patients VBACs, forceps/vacuum deliveries, and more.

When not working she enjoys spending time with her husband and son and attending a local Eastern Orthodox Church.

Her hobbies include indoor gardening, knitting, biking, hiking, dancing, and sailing.
