Biography: Dr. Ashley Canizaro, a native of Mississippi, is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist.

Dr. Canizaro received her postgraduate training in obstetrics and gynecology at UMMC from 2007-11, serving as administrative chief resident during 2010-11.

My Approach to Healthcare

I believe in the approach of teaching patients, advocating for their power to improve their health and wellness. Being an ob-gyn is not just about reproductive care. It is overall wellness, learning to balance both physical and mental health, nutrition, physical activity, relationship, purpose, and beliefs. I desire to meet each patient where they are in life and treat the whole person.
