Dawn Goulding, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN at Beyond Women's Care in Rochester Hills, Michigan.  

2020 has brought significant change to my life. And to all of our lives. I would not have foreseen needing to wear a mask to walk out in public. I have never washed my hands so much in my life, and working in medicine, that’s saying a lot.

There has been so much change in my family life. I have marveled at the experience of watching my now fourteen year old daughter form and practice her adult self. She tugs (sometimes painfully) at boundaries as she stretches her wings. My eleven year old son is in earlier stages of this process. I can see clearly that he will be a kind and thoughtful man.

There has been so much change in the practice of Medicine as a whole. The digital age has supported major advancements in medical safety, and has provided scaffolding for the collection of ever enlarging medical information. It is no longer realistic to “know it all” in Medicine. Setting up a network of resources to rely upon help guide me towards the path of practicing Medicine that is evidence based and always pointing towards best in practice.

I could not ask for a better network to rely upon than what I have at Beyond Women’s Care. There is so much to be said for a team working together in a collaborative approach. Being part of this dynamic team offers continued exposure to new thoughts and techniques that continue to improve my offerings in the practice of Medicine. We are focused on preventive health care throughout the life stages. An annual is not longer “just a pap”. And despite living your best life, many women’s health issues arise and we are focused on practical and focused solutions to help continue moving along your best health path possible. We all deserve to live our lives in our best possible health. I, along the rest of my work family at Beyond Women’s Care, welcome you in and hope we are of great help to you in your life’s journey.

Kelly Gumbrecht, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN and advanced laparoscopic surgeon. She provides high-quality women’s health care at Beyond Women’s Care in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and has additional experience in beauty, cosmetic, and personal care.

My story starts from modest beginnings – I was the first to go to college in my family, to Wayne State University, and made my own way with the help and support of my family. I made my way to the island of St. Martin (yes, in the Caribbean) to begin my medical career at the American University of the Caribbean. This is where I truly developed my independence. I packed everything I owned into two bags of luggage and didn’t turn back for the next four years. I lived out of these suitcases and traveled to many different states and met so many great people on my adventures. 

I completed my residency at Ascension St. John where I was co-chief resident with Dr. Murthy. We have been friends and colleagues ever since. I’m happy to share that she delivered my second daughter, Vivienne. I met Dr. Goulding at our last practice and our friendship has grown over the years. She educates me in so many different ways and love to cheer her on in this crazy game we call life! We are so excited to start this journey together at Beyond Women’s Care and we think our 3 personalities will make the best experience for our patients.

In my free time, I’m a mother of 2 lovely ladies named Audrey and Vivienne who are 5 and 6. I’ve been married for 9 years and really enjoy snow skiing, fashion, makeup, and fitness. I love to exercise for my sanity and if you place me in an Ulta or Sephora, I will not walk out without spending less then $100.

I look forward to welcoming you to our new practice!

I grew up right here in Rochester Hills and I am so happy to be able to practice medicine in my hometown at Beyond Women's Care. I knew from a very young age that I wanted to become a physician, a determination that was tested - but never wavered - during my college years at the University of Michigan. I developed a passion for women's care as a medical student at Wayne State University School of Medicine, and subsequently completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Ascension Providence Hospital in 2019.

Before joining Beyond Women's Care, I was an OBGYN in another private practice in the metro Detroit area. I have had the opportunity to work with a wonderful array of patients from many different backgrounds and with many different care needs. 

In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, our two-year-old son, Teddy, and our two cats. I also love to run, travel, and binge watch TV shows and movies.

Sapna Murthy, MD, is a board-certified OBGYN and an advanced robotic and laparoscopic surgeon with the team at Beyond Women’s Care in Rochester Hills, Michigan. 

I am a wife, mother, doctor and a businesswoman. Just like any woman, I wear many hats. I come from very humble beginnings and was raised to be a strong, positive, independent woman. I grew up in India and finished my medical school there. During medical school, I developed the passion for women’s health. I did residency training in obstetrics and gynecology in India. During this time, I married my high school sweetheart. Life after 2001 suddenly shifted and my husband had to move to the United States. That’s when I made a career move and came to the US to be together as a family. We started our new life here and I joined a residency program at St. John Hospital & Medical Center in Detroit. I enjoyed every single day of my training. This is where I met Dr. Kelly Gumbrecht. Kelly and I were always a great team. We began taking over the world together when we both became chief residents. Since then I have found a forever friend. We started working together in private practice in Rochester Hills and that’s when we found another friend in Dr. Goulding.

Beyond Women’s Care brings new beginnings and hope for me. We come together as a team of friends who are more like family, and we bring the same support and compassion to our patients.

Dr. Murthy’s special interests include adolescent health, obstetrics, minimally invasive surgery including DaVinci Robotic surgery, and urinary incontinence.
