Summary:

Here at Penn Medicine Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, we pride ourselves in making a difference in the lives of women. Patients deserve to make informed decisions. Without learning about their bodies and understanding why they may be having their symptoms, they cannot choose the best course of treatment. Without understanding the risks and benefits of medical or surgical options, they cannot take an active role in their health. We believe in education and empowerment. Women should be confident in their bodies and their health; they deserve a provider that will help them achieve this. Our practice specializes in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Our compassionate Gynecologists and Advance Practice Nurses specialize in evaluating and treating people who have a wide range of noncancerous gynecologic conditions, including heavy and irregular menstrual periods, pelvic pain, endometriosis and ovarian cysts. Our surgeons are board-certified, fellowship-trained, gynecology specialists with experience in the use of hysteroscopic, laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques to address both common and complex conditions of the female anatomy. The advantages of this approach include less pain, blood loss and scarring as well as a decreased risk of infection.
