At the helm of Renaissance Healthcare is Barbi Phelps-Sandall, MD, an expert in women’s health. Dr. Phelps-Sandall’s extensive background in obstetrics, gynecology, and integrative healthcare makes her a trusted resource for women seeking comprehensive care throughout their lives. Raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Dr. Phelps-Sandall has always valued the importance of family and community, shaped by her loving relationships with grandparents, cousins, and friends.

Her academic journey includes earning degrees in Biology and Dental Hygiene at Ohio State University, followed by a Master’s in Health Education from the University of Cincinnati.
