The Cleveland Clinic Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology was rated No. 1 in Ohio and No. 3 in the nation according to U.S. News & World Report.
Our adolescent gynecology staff is especially compassionate and skilled in examining girls and young women and in helping parents understand that gynecologic problems are not outgrown – they must be addressed and treated.
Because treating children and adolescents usually requires more than just treating their physical problems, Cleveland Clinic pediatric gynecologists are supported by a comprehensive team of professionals trained to deal with emotional as well as physical changes.
Through treatment and education, our team will help your child develop an honest and open relationship with her doctor that will facilitate the best possible care.
Single Port Laparoscopic Program for Suspected Pelvic Masses
Through the section of Gynecologic Oncology, selected adolescent patients have access to the only Single Port Laparoscopic Program in Ohio, if necessary. Using this innovative approach, surgeons are able to perform laparoscopic/robotic surgery through a single incision, which improves patient recovery.
