Getting to know Dr. Molly Senokozlieff

In the Bluffton practice of Blanchard Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology
Posted by Icon K on Monday, February 18, 2019

During a noon break between seeing patients, the Icon caught up with Dr. Molly Senokozlieff, M.D., women’s health specialist. Her office is across from Bluffton Hospital in Blanchard Valley Obstetrics and Gynecology (formerly called Bluffton Woman’s Care).

When in Bluffton she may see 20 patients or more during the day, and her patient load had reached a dozen when we arrived. We talked quickly because one of her patients in Bluffton was in labor.

She pointed out that an early experience in her first year of residency at Ohio State University Hospital was being in the room during her sister’s delivery of triplets.
