Laparoscopic surgery allows same day discharge from the hospital, quick recovery and reduces the risk of infection.

Infertility evaluation and treatment
Counseling and treatment for infertility can help you conceive with the help of reproductive technology. Artificial insemination is performed in our office.
Ultrasound and technology
Ultrasound is an important adjunct for the evaluation of women with gynecologic conditions. The Siemens Acuson ultrasound in our office provides superior endovaginal imaging acoustics and diagnostics. This combines interpretation of radiologic and clinical information by your OBGYN and allows for better evaluation and management of the patient. We also perform saline infusion sonography to better characterize endometrial mass lesions such as fibroids or polyps. We currently do not provide obstetric services.
