As a caring and compassionate obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Basso is in practice with WomanCare Centers – A Division of Mid-Atlantic Women’s Care PLC in Norfolk, Virginia. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to take care of growing families and women from all over the world. 

The team of board-certified obstetrician-gynecologists and certified nurse midwives at WomanCare Centers – A Division of Mid-Atlantic Women’s Care PLC provide outstanding individualized patient care for every stage of life. From general obstetrics and gynecological services to midwifery and surgical services, they provide support in that transition from pediatric to gynecologic care (from adolescence to menopause). 

Having always enjoyed studying and challenging herself to perform at her best, Dr. Basso’s pursuit for academic excellence resulted in her graduating Valedictorian from Evangelical Mackenzie Faculty of Parana in Brazil, where she is from. She completed two residencies in obstetrics and gynecology at the following institutions: Federal University of Parana and West Virginia University. 

A Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (FACOG), the doctor is board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG). The mission of the ABOG is to define standards, certify obstetricians and gynecologists, and facilitate continuous learning to advance knowledge, practice, and professionalism in women’s health.

Open to innovation, Dr. Basso has been certified to perform robotic gynecological surgery since 2009. She is affiliated with Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center, Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, and Charleston Area Medical Center.

Obstetrics and Gynecology is the medical specialty that encompasses the two subspecialties of obstetrics and gynecology. An obstetrician-gynecologist, or OB-GYN, is a healthcare professional who specializes in female reproductive health. 

On a more personal note, Dr. Basso loves to enjoy her free time by frequenting the many cultural venues in Hampton Roads and watching her son, Marco, participating in all of his many hobbies. One can be sure to spot her at one of the beautiful parks or beaches in the Norfolk area.
