addition to the Oaklawn Medical
Group-Obstetrics and Gynecology
office.
The office is located in the
Wright Medical Building at 215 E
Mansion St. in Marshall and can be
reached at (269) 558-0702.
Hall brings nearly 20 years
of experience since graduating
from Michigan State University’s
College of Osteopathic Medicine in
2007 with his Doctor of Osteopathy
degree.
He did his residency in Obstetrics
and Gynecology at Henry Ford
Wyandotte Hospital, where he
served as chief intern in 2007-08
and chief resident from 2009-11.
He was also trained in daVinci
Robotic Surgery.
Since 2013, Hall has worked in
South Haven and in Benton Harbor,
where he has delivered thousands
of babies.
Hall grew up near Detroit.
As an undergraduate student at the
Univresity of Michigan in the late
1990s, he was not eyeing a career
in medicine.
“I was really more involved in lit-
erature and the language arts side of
things,” he said.
After a year and a half, he said
he realized that those studies were
never going to pay the bills, so he
switched his major to biology and
chemistry and got interested in the
sciences.
“Still, even after college, my
plan wasn’t medical school. I was
going to do research, and I actually
worked for a year with the National
Cancer Institute. It was while I was
there that I decided that I could
make more of a difference and do
more good if I went into the clini-
cal side of things, so that is when I
decided to go to medical school.”

Originally his intention
was to specialize in oncol-
ogy, but found the “emo-
tionally draining” field
was not for him..
“When I rotated in
OB-GYN, that was the
other side of the spectrum.
Everybody was happy,
so that’s how I went into
that.”
Hall notes that there is a distinctdivision between the
obstetrics side of things
and the gynecological
side.
“The obstetrics side,
we are delivering babies
and looking after women
and making sure they stay
healthy during pregnan-
cies,” he said.
“The gynecological side
of things – that really is more theside where we get to tailor our prac-
tice more toward what the patient
wants and there’s a lot of variety
in how we approach different prob-
lems,” he explained.
“The family planning side of
things is where we make the biggest
difference, especially for younger
women who are not looking to start
a family yet,” he said in part.
Hall and his wife, Andrea, who is
a veterinarian, have two children.green
