Meet Roxanna M. Twedt, MD
After I finished my undergraduate degree, I worked for the State of Nevada Division of Public Health as a biostatistician. Through that work, I was drawn to a career in medicine. Based on my previous work and my interest in maternal health, I entered medical school suspecting that I would pursue a residency in obstetrics and gynecology. From my very first exposure to maternal fetal medicine in my first year of medical school, I knew this was what I wanted to do.
I know firsthand what it’s like to experience a high-risk pregnancy, with both maternal and fetal complications, and how hard this can be. I hope that my medical training combined with my personal experiences can lead to the best medical outcome for a mother and her baby while at the same time making sure she feels understood and supported in a difficult time.
Dr. Twedt is a lifelong piano player and the proud owner of three West Highland white terriers she frequently enters into dog shows. She is married to a Nevada native and enjoys spending quality time with her husband and their three lovely children.
