Dr. Bobart’s approach to pain medicine integrates diverse perspectives, emphasized by comprehensive consultations that align with the six pillars of pain management: lifestyle, the psychological, physical therapies, interventional therapies, spirituality, and medications. Additionally, Dr. Bobart has a keen interest in understanding and addressing fibromyalgia and migraines.
Outside of her professional pursuits, Dr. Bobart enjoys family time, gardening, hiking, cycling, knitting, and sewing. She is also a youth soccer coach and a dedicated volunteer for a number of causes and organizations, and serves on several boards in various local organizations.
