From the Provider

“So many women spend years assuming their symptoms are just something to live with. My favorite moments are when a patient realizes she can actually talk about it — and that we can find a solution.”

About the Provider

Originally from South Florida, Maz knew early that she wanted a career in medicine. Medical school was her assumed path at first, until she began working as a medical assistant alongside physician assistants in urogynecology. That experience changed her direction and sparked a particular interest in helping women advocate for themselves as they navigate perimenopause, menopause and other intimate health concerns.

After PA school, Maz relocated to Oregon to work in rural primary care, drawn by the opportunity to provide continuity of care and build long-term relationships with patients. As the only female practitioner in her clinic, she saw how difficult it could be for women to access care for menopausal symptoms—and how many had stopped asking about symptoms because they assumed nothing could be done. When they had the space to talk openly about what they were experiencing, they could often begin finding solutions. That experience strengthened Maz’s commitment to helping women understand their options and advocate for the care that works for them.

Maz splits her time between the clinic and the operating room, where she assists in surgery. In clinic, she cares for patients experiencing stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence, painful sex, endometriosis, polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS, formerly known as PCOS) and abnormal bleeding.

Outside of work, Maz enjoys hiking, beach volleyball, cooking, reading and spending time with her family. She is a member of the American Academy of Physician Associates.
