Nina Feinberg, MD
Hometown: West Orange/Livington, NJ
Medical school: University of Vermont
Undergraduate: Brandeis University, Waltham, MA
I was born in New Jersey and moved up to Boston where I completed my undergraduate degree in chemical biology at Brandeis University. I stayed in the Boston area and worked as an EMT before moving to Vermont to attend medical school at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.
I am passionate about gender affirming care in gynecology and providing inclusive and informed care to LGBTQ+ populations, especially in rural areas where access can be challenging. I am also interested in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and medical ethics, so having a program director who is very involved in hospital ethics is very exciting.
I moved to York with my partner and our two cats and one dog. In my free time, I love to bake and make jam and pickles, hike and forage for mushrooms, ski, and watch movies with at least one cat on my lap.
Haggar “Zoe” Aspitz, MD
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY, Los Altos, CA and Tel Aviv, Israel
Medical school: Sackler School of Medicine
Undergraduate: University of California, Davis
I was born and raised in Los Altos Hills, California; after graduating high school I moved to Israel and did a year of community service volunteering in an elementary school. Following that year, I returned to California where I started my undergraduate degree at University of California Davis, where I received my degree in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior.
Following my undergraduate degree, I decided to take a job as a research assistant for a company that developed vaccines for animals. I worked in research and development of new vaccines as well as quality assurance of current vaccines. After a year of research, I decided to head back to Israel for medical school at the American Medical Program at Tel Aviv University. During medical school I fell in love with the diversity of obstetrics and gynecology from surgery to primary care, helping patients in all stages of their life and healthcare.
I am incredibly thrilled to be moving to Pennsylvania to begin my career in Ob/Gyn at York Hospital! I absolutely love nature and am excited to explore all the outdoors that Pennsylvania has to offer. I am making the move with my adorable 10-year-old Border Collie-Labrador Retriever Mix Baloo, kitten Louie and my incredible husband who is a general surgery resident. In my free time I enjoy hiking, running, and baking.
Meghan Scantlebury, DO
Hometown: Richmond, Rhode Island
Medical school: University of New England COM
Undergraduate: Brandeis University, Waltham, MA
I was born and raised in small town in southern Rhode Island. I completed my undergraduate degree at Brandeis University where I was indecisive and majored in biochemistry, biology, and chemistry. It was through volunteering opportunities in college that I was first able to explore my interests in women’s and reproductive health. After graduating, I moved back to southern RI and spent the next two years working as a scribe in the emergency department and volunteering as an EMT for a small beach town.
Living a short drive to the ocean almost my whole life, I couldn’t resist continuing my education at the University of New England in Maine for medical school. During my fourth year of medical school, I had the opportunity to complete an audition rotation at WellSpan Hospital and loved my experience with the program, attendings, and residents that I was able to work with. When I’m not at the hospital, I can be found dabbling in one of my many hobbies including hiking to waterfalls with my partner, canoeing, baking, playing board games, and drawing.
Andrea Sanchez Velazquez, MD
Hometown: Caguas, Carolina, San Juan
Medical school: University of Puerto Rico
Undergraduate: University of Puerto Rico - Cayey, USA
Hi all!! I'm born and raised in Puerto Rico where I completed my undergraduate and graduate education. After my bachelor’s degree, my interest in statistics and research grew and I completed a masters in epidemiology. On my third year of medical school, I found my people in ObGyn. I’m passionate about language concordant care, health disparities, advocacy, and healthcare access.
I strive to offer my patients a safe space that values vulnerability and validates emotions. ObGyn provides me the opportunity to provide life-long care, while at the same time developing nurturing relationships and being part of different stages of my patient’s life. In my free time I like to do my own gel manicure, watch formula 1 and bake.
Katherine Madden, DO
Hometown: Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania
Medical school: Virginia COM – Virginia
Undergraduate: Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA
I grew up just 2 hours north in Bloomsburg, PA and attended Ursinus College outside of Philadelphia for undergrad. At Ursinus I majored in Biology and Neuroscience and was a part of the women's swim team. It was here that I discovered my interest in medicine (and maybe even OBGYN) where I was involved in research studying cardiac hypertrophy in pregnancy! After undergrad I moved down to Blacksburg, Virginia where I completed medical school at VCOM and fell in love with the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. It is the one specialty where I felt I could best combine my love of medicine, surgery, patient education, advocacy, and community service.
I am so excited to have matched at York where I will be caring for such a diverse patient population and learning from some of the most supportive attendings. I could not be happier to move back close to my family and spend my free time catching up with old (and new!) friends.
