Dr. DiBari holds a Masters in Medical Management from Carnegie Mellon University, dual bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, and her MD from the New York Medical College.  She has also served as adjunct clinical faculty at the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine in New York and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth.  She is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
