An Interview with Amelia Knowles
What led you to the field of obstetrics/gynecology?
I chose obstetrics and gynecology so that women could receive care with a woman’s touch and understanding.
How many years have you been practicing in the field?
I began caring for women as a Registered Nurse in 1997 and earned my graduate degree as an advanced practice provider in 2012.
What makes your job rewarding? What do you enjoy about your work?
Helping women transition into motherhood is a wonderful gift to experience. I never work a day in my life, because I love my job.
What brought you to the area and to this practice?
This part of New York is home to a diverse community that I had not had the opportunity to serve earlier in my career. The practice has a friendly work environment and a professional standard of care that makes me proud to be part of it.
Do you have special interests or areas of specialty?
I find all areas of women’s health interesting.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy reading, swimming, cycling, and traveling.
