Specialties
We strive to provide the best treatment for each patient. If medical options are not successful or desired, we have advanced training in minimally-invasive gynecologic surgery, which enables us to provide our patients with cutting-edge technology to reduce pain, decrease hospitalization, and speed recovery.
Surgeries are performed at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, MD, and at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD. We also offer the convenience of in-office pelvic sonograms, and in-office procedures with anesthesia, including hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation (Novasure), and hysteroscopic permanent sterilization (Essure).
The minimally-invasive GYN procedures that we perform include laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, myomectomy through a minilaparotomy (5cm incision), and single-incision laparoscopy. We also perform permanent sterilization in the office using hysteroscopy (a scope placed in the uterus through the cervix). The advantages of this include no abdominal incisions, minimal discomfort, and no time for recovery.
We specialize in treatment of:
— uterine fibroids — abnormal bleeding
— abnormal pap smears — contraception
— infertility — adolescent gynecology
