Laparoscopic (Minimally Invasive) Surgery | Obstetrics & Gynecology | Women's Health | Adult Gender Affirming CareMy goal as a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist with St. Luke’s University Health Network is to meet patients wherever they are in life’s journey and walk alongside them as a partner in their health care. I provide comprehensive OB/GYN care, practicing up-to-date, evidence-based medicine. I continually seek opportunities to expand my knowledge, enabling me to provide the highest quality of care to my patients.
After completing my residency with St. Luke’s, I was proud to join the Network as an attending physician and continue serving the community that shaped my training.
I have a special focus on LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, asexual and more) health and adult gender-affirming care, including hormone therapy for both transmasculine and transfeminine patients, gender-affirming surgeries such as hysterectomy, fallopian tube and/or ovary removal, care coordination and referrals, and postoperative care for procedures performed outside of the Network. In addition, my practice includes gynecologic surgery with expertise in minimally invasive and robotic techniques, management of endometriosis, pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding, and family planning. This includes supportive counseling around reproductive choices and child-free sterilization.
Outside of medicine, I find joy in time spent with family and friends, including my husband and our beloved pets. Living in the Lehigh Valley allows me to enjoy some of my favorite activities such as disc golf, kayaking and swimming. I am also an active member of Trinity Episcopal Church in Easton and value being part of a vibrant, connected community.
Above all, I hope to empower patients to live their fullest, healthiest lives both inside and outside the exam room.

“I have, and will continue to recommend Dr Theobald. However, I recommend seeing her in a different office. The office is very, very outdated, dirty (stains on carpet, walls in need of repair, musty odor) and office staff adds to the discomfort. Doctor and Nurse were outstanding”
