I encourage patients to always take responsibility for keeping themselves healthy and strong, especially during pregnancy. I always advise patients to remember to do for their unborn child what they would do for their children at home, like keeping doctor appointments, making smart food choices and staying active.
With the bulk of my training and experience in underserved communities, I have always strived to give the highest level of care to patients regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds and will now continue that care for patients at the St. Luke’s. I recently relocated to the Lehigh Valley from New York City and joined St. Luke’s Hamilton OB/GYN and St. Luke’s Valley OB/GYN.
My clinical interests include high-risk pregnancies, obesity in women with a focus on nutrition and urban and underserved medicine.
Originally from Bellmawr, New Jersey, I received my medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine Dominica, West Indies. I then went on to complete a residency at Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York where I continued to work for 20 years.
I’m excited to be caring for women as part of St. Luke’s growing health network and to bring my family here to the Lehigh Valley. Women are the backbone of the family, so keeping women healthy in body and mind will also keep families healthy so that the next generation is strong and secure.
“This was my first time meeting Dr. Ardite, as my former provider was Dr. Avellini. I was supposed to have an annual checkup visit in May so I switched my appointment to Dr. Ardite after reading her bio and liking what I saw. I then found out that I was pregnant a month ago, so I called the office and had to switch my appointment type. I was lucky to keep my appointment day and time the same as my annual checkup visit. Dr. Ardite was welcoming and easy to speak to, and answered all of my questions at the time. I look forward to having more appointments with her in my pregnancy journey.”
