“Compassion, trust, respect and honesty are the key values in my relationship with my patient. I believe that every birth is a miracle and I am honored to share this amazing experience!  I thoroughly enjoy practicing both obstetrics and gynecology.  I strive to be there for my patient on her journey through life and I am grateful for the privilege of being her doctor!”

“A friend of mine recommended Dr. Pfaffenbach and she really turned my world around. I have Crohn’s disease and other doctors had told me I wouldn’t be able to get pregnant. Dr. Pfaffenbach carefully monitored my Crohn’s disease, worked closely with my doctor in Milwaukee and personally called me numerous times throughout each of my four pregnancies. I always felt comfortable with her.”
