As Chief Practice Officer, Rick Rankin is dedicated to ensuring that every patient receives exceptional, compassionate care in a supportive and seamless environment. With years of leadership experience, Rick brings a steady hand and a deep sense of purpose to the day-to-day operations of the practice.

For Rick, managing a women’s surgical specialty practice isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about empathy.
