Dr. Layne is dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive women’s healthcare. Originally from Chicago, she earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her medical degree from Meharry Medical College in 2012, before completing her OB/GYN residency at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center in 2016.
Dr. Layne was drawn to obstetrics and gynecology by a lifelong fascination with reproductive health and the unique privilege of caring for two patients simultaneously—the birthing parent and the baby. She considers it an honor to be part of such a monumental and intimate moment in her patients’ lives. She also appreciates the spontaneity of her field, where every day brings something new and meaningful.
Her clinical interests include uterine fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, and reproductive health. She is deeply passionate about advancing health equity and shaping policy to improve access to quality care for all women. Dr. Layne prides herself on treating each patient as she would want to be treated, prioritizing open communication, trust, and empathy. She strives to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about their health.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Layne enjoys traveling, reading, and exploring all that her hometown of Chicago has to offer.
