Why Choose Us?
Individualized Care
Our gynecologists recognize that every woman’s body is different. This means that every woman’s vagina, ovaries, uterus, and breasts change at different times. We take your full medical history into consideration to inform the best treatment approach for you.
Diagnostic Experts
Our staff is made up of women’s health experts who specialize in screening and protecting you against gynecologic diseases and disorders. This is true for women of any age and stage of life.

If a gynecologic problem arises or a screening test comes back abnormal, we can handle that, too. You have access to specialists to provide you with the best care possible.
Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgery
Our commitment to getting you back to your best self is evident in our laparoscopic procedures, which provides you with quicker recovery and reduced discomfort. At the heart of our gynecological services is our expertise in gynecological surgery. Our skilled team specializes in performing a range of gynecological procedures right here at the hospital, prioritizing your comfort and health every step of the way.
Midlife Women’s Health
We recognize that women nearing the middle of their life have unique health care needs. While menopause is a natural part of being a woman, not every woman experiences it in the same way.
Common midlife concerns we can help treat include:
-
-
- Hot flashes/night sweats
- Mood changes
- Weight/metabolism changes
- Irregular periods
- Thin, dry hair or skin
- Hair loss

You should establish care with a gynecologist to maintain good feminine health. The best thing you can do for your health is have regular exams and screenings. This helps your doctor identify any gynecologic problems early, which often makes them easier to treat.
When should women begin seeing a gynecologist?
Women are encouraged to begin seeing a gynecologist once they reach their teenage years. This is true regardless of whether your teen is sexually active or has begun menstruating. Seeing a gynecologist early in life helps your doctor understand what is “normal” for you so that any problems can be more easily detected in the future.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit will mostly be a conversation between you and your provider. This is a great time to bring up any concerns you may have about your body, sexual health, menstrual cycle, or preventive care. Your doctor will also ask about your personal and family history and conduct an exam to get a fuller picture of your health.
