Patient Care Bio
Gynecology only. I specialize in healthcare for women at mid-life and beyond. I focus on helping patients through the menopause transition which includes weight management and sexual health. Prevention and screening for cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis is an important part of health care beginning at midlife. I am familiar with a wide range of treatments for menopause symptoms including Bioidentical hormones; non hormonal medications; acupuncture; and dietary/lifestyle modifications.
I have years of experience in the surgical restoration of vaginal and pelvic organ support to correct prolapse and restore urinary continence. When surgery is necessary, minimally invasive techniques are used.
If you are beyond childbearing, a gynecology only practice may best fit your needs.
