When you are facing a gynecological condition, whether it be heavy menstrual periods, endometriosis, uterine fibroids or cervical and uterine cancer, these symptoms impact your day-to-day life. Our team strives to create a supportive and compassionate environment where you feel heard and cared for.

Our team provides a patient-centered approach to ensure your well-being before, during and after treatment. While medication and non-invasive treatments help many women experiencing a gynecologic issue, surgery can be a good option when those methods fail, or surgical treatment is necessary.

  • Expert Team: The team at Providence is made up of leaders in their fields. Their extensive expertise ensures you receive the highest standard of care.
  • Advanced Technology: We utilize state-of-the-art technology, including the da Vinci™ Surgical System, to perform minimally invasive procedures. This often allows for greater precision, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring.
  • Personalized Care: Every patient is unique, and so is our approach. We provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to help ensure the best possible outcomes.
  • Comprehensive Services: From routine gynecological care to complex surgical procedures, we offer a full spectrum of services to address all your gynecological health needs.
  • Holistic Care: We believe in treating the whole person, not just the condition. Our team collaborates closely with you and other women’s health care providers to ensure a holistic approach to your health.

At Providence, we treat many gynecological conditions, including:

  • Endometriosis
  • Heavy menstrual periods
  • Irregular menstrual periods
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Pelvic pain
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Uterine prolapse

As a part of the greater Providence system, we regularly collaborate with OB-GYNs and gynecologic oncologists to ensure you receive the care that you need.

Diagnostic imaging

To diagnose gynecological issues, we use advanced imaging technologies, including:

  • CT
  • MRI
  • PET
  • Surgery
  • Ultrasound  X-ray

Surgery does not have to interrupt your life with a long recovery or leave you with noticeable scarring. Depending on your condition, we may treat you with traditional surgery techniques or minimally invasive options, such as robotic surgery.

If you are a candidate for robotic surgery, your doctor may use our da Vinci™ Surgical System. The da Vinci robot enables surgeons to perform with great precision and control, using a few small incisions rather than one large one.

Doctors use minimally invasive robotic surgery for many purposes, including:

  • Hysterectomy
  • Ovarian cyst removal
  • Treatment of endometriosis
  • Treatment of gynecological cancers
  • Uterine fibroid removal
  • Vaginal prolapse repair
  • Vulvar/cervical dysplasia, excluding total vulvectomy
  • VIN (I or II)
  • VAIN

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

  • Faster recovery time
  • Less bleeding and pain
  • Shorter hospital stays

In some cases, minimally invasive robotic surgery allows doctors to preserve a woman’s fertility while treating a gynecologic condition, such as fibroids or cancer. Our team can provide second opinions on laparoscopic procedures as well.

We treat a wide range of gynecological conditions, including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, vaginal prolapse, and more. Our team specializes in both medical and surgical treatments to provide comprehensive care.

Absolutely, we believe in a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Our team collaborates closely with other specialists in women's health. This collaborative effort ensures comprehensive and coordinated care for patients, addressing all aspects of their health and well-being.

During your first visit, you will meet with our specialist who will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination. Depending on your needs, additional diagnostic tests may be ordered. Together, you and your doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan.

Eligibility for minimally invasive surgery depends on various factors, including your specific condition, overall health, and the complexity of the procedure needed. Our doctor will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the best surgical approach for you.

Robotic surgery with the da Vinci Surgical System offers several advantages, including enhanced precision, greater control for the surgeon, reduced risk of complications, smaller incisions, and faster recovery times. This technology allows for highly accurate procedures with improved outcomes.

Our team will provide detailed preoperative instructions tailored to your specific procedure. This may include guidelines on fasting, medications, and other preparations. Following these instructions carefully is crucial for a successful surgery and smooth recovery.

Recovery time can vary based on the specific procedure and individual patient factors. Patients who undergo minimally invasive surgery may experience a quicker recovery, typically returning to normal activities within a few weeks. Traditional surgery, while it may involve larger incisions, is sometimes the best option depending on the patient's condition. Recovery from traditional surgery may take a bit longer, ranging from several weeks to a few months, but it remains a highly effective treatment method. Our team will provide you with detailed postoperative care instructions and an estimated recovery timeline tailored to your specific surgery and health needs, ensuring you receive the best possible care regardless of the surgical approach.

Yes, we can provide a second opinion on your gynecologic condition.

Depending on your condition, your care team may include:

  • Gynecological oncologist
  • Interventional radiologists
  • Nurses
  • Obstetricians/gynecologists
  • Radiologists
  • Surgeons
