Biography

Michael Cardenas, MD, provides compassionate, patient-centered obstetric and gynecologic care grounded in evidence-based medicine for greater than 20 years. He cares for women through every stage of life, with clinical interests that include obstetric care, full-spectrum gynecology, infertility and continuity of care throughout a woman’s lifetime. He is also drawn to the diversity of the specialty and the opportunity to support patients during both joyful milestones and more challenging times.


Dr. Cardenas believes that excellent OB-GYN care begins with listening to each patient’s story, respecting her autonomy and developing individualized care plans that take into account not only medical needs, but also social, cultural and emotional well-being. He is committed to empowering patients with knowledge and support so they can make informed, shared decisions about treatment and next steps in their care.


He chose obstetrics and gynecology because he values the opportunity to care for women throughout their lives — from some of life’s most meaningful and celebratory moments to times that require guidance, compassion and ongoing support.


Outside of medicine, Dr. Cardenas enjoys spending time outdoors. His hobbies include hiking, running, going to the beach, skiing and spending time with his family.
