Services
Prenatal Care
Our comprehensive prenatal program includes regular check-ups, fetal monitoring, and genetic screening for low to high-risk pregnancies. We provide education on nutrition, labor preparation, and postpartum care while maintaining 24/7 physician availability for emergencies. Our team coordinates specialized care with maternal-fetal medicine experts when needed.
MonaLisa Touch
This innovative laser treatment addresses menopausal symptoms through collagen regeneration in vaginal tissue. The non-surgical procedure alleviates dryness and discomfort during intimacy with minimal downtime. Most patients notice improvement after the first of three recommended sessions, with annual maintenance for lasting results.
Infertility Treatment
Our evaluation process includes hormone testing, semen analysis, and HSG imaging to identify fertility issues. We offer medication protocols and intrauterine insemination while coordinating advanced treatments like IVF through specialist networks. Care plans address both male and female factor infertility with personalized timelines.
Annual Exams
Preventative visits include comprehensive health assessments, pelvic exams, and age-appropriate screenings. We provide contraceptive counseling, HPV vaccinations for teens, and chronic condition management. These exams emphasize early detection of gynecological issues through pap smears and lab testing.
Robotic Surgery
Using daVinci technology, our surgeons perform hysterectomies and fibroid removals with enhanced precision. This approach reduces recovery time compared to traditional methods while maintaining safety standards. We offer both abdominal and laparoscopic procedures based on individual patient needs.
