Services We Offer

We offer a wide range of services to help keep you healthy throughout your lifespan.
Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery

If you need gynecologic surgery, we’ll explain your options and recommend minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques, such as robot-assisted procedures, whenever possible. This approach means you’ll have less pain and scarring, a quicker recovery and reduced risk of complications.

Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Care

We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with suspected or known endometriosis to help alleviate painful symptoms and manage long-term health.

Urogynecology

Millions of Americans suffer from frequent urination, painful bladder symptoms and loss of bladder control. In many cases, people are embarrassed to talk about these conditions, and they suffer in silence. There’s no need to be embarrassed. Learn how urogynecology experts at Mount Auburn Hospital can help.
