This includes:

• Abnormal menstruation

From the Teenage Years to Pregnancy, Menopause, and Beyond

Our patients benefit from treatment by a highly experienced, multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, scientists, researchers and counselors committed to providing outstanding care while recognizing the psychological, emotional and social aspects of gynecologic problems and provide the requisite support in these areas.

We care for young women concerned with irregular cycles, the latest in contraceptive advances, and stress appropriate, preventive gynecologic care. We have a team of highly experienced and caring obstetricians for routine as well as high-risk obstetrical care. As women complete their families, we provide counseling and therapeutic management for mid life women in the peri- and post-menopause. Our outstanding surgeons provide state of the art minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic procedures for removal of fibroids and ovarian cysts, as well as treatment of endometriosis and irregular heavy vaginal bleeding. We also provide diagnostic and preventive therapy for urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic floor prolapse.

We also provide comprehensive and innovative support services for patients, including our Perinatal Bereavement Program for women and families experiencing fetal loss. Our services include counseling and guidance to help patients and family members cope with loss, including support groups (in English and Spanish), strategies for coping, community based referrals and facilitation of meaningful rituals sensitive to families' spiritual, cultural and religious beliefs.

We believe that screening, education, early detection, and treatment provide a solid foundation to help you reach and maintain your personal health care goals.

Treatment

We use the least invasive, safest solutions possible to optimize patient outcomes and wellness. Additionally, we offer the latest advances in technological approaches.

Robotic surgery

Robotic tools allow us to treat a vast majority of patients with a minimally invasive approach. Our robotic system is capable of translating a surgeon's hand movements at a console into real-time procedures inside the patient. This improves surgical precision and instrument range of motion. As a result, we have very low complication rates, decreased lengths of stay, minimal scarring, and high overall satisfaction ratings from our patients. Though not all surgeries can be performed with robotics, we've used this technique in more than 300 pelvic surgeries since 2005.

Alternative therapies

We are also studying alternative therapies such as biofeedback and electrical stimulation to treat disorders of the pelvic floor.
