Biographical Sketch
As a gynecologic surgeon with over 20 years of experience and a very low rate of surgical complications, I like to emphasize a thorough evaluation of patient concerns in the office. Many times this includes an office pelvic ultrasound or sonogram, performed by myself, which helps provide the proper information to offer only the appropriate, safe and effective treatment alternatives to patients. This includes both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. I believe in patient education, allowing all patients to participate in their own treatment decisions.
