Obstetrics and Gynecology

Having a baby is one of life’s most special times. Our OB/GYN specialists are here for you every step of the way, meeting with you regularly to examine your health and the baby’s development. Because every mom and baby are unique, we work with you to develop a birth plan that’s right for you. Our obstetricians deliver at Woodland Memorial Hospital’s Family Birth Center, where you’ll experience:

Our OB/GYN specialists treat a wide variety of conditions including: 

• Abnormal bleeding and menstrual disorders
• Cervical dysplasia
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Endometriosis
• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic floor dysfunction
• Polycystic ovary disorder
• Urinary incontinence

As medical advances evolve, more invasive surgical procedures are being performed using minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopy hysterectomy and endometrial ablation. Compared to other surgical procedures, the potential benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:

• Smaller incisions
• Less pain
• Faster recovery times
• Shorter hospital stays
• Less operative trauma
• Less blood loss
• Less scarring
• Less risk of infection or post-operative complications

When you need a surgical procedure to treat a gynecologic condition, Dignity Health Medical Foundation’s team of OB/GYN specialists includes board-certified surgeons who have undergone extensive fellowship training on pertinent techniques and procedures.

Our OB/GYN specialists work collaboratively as a team and with your primary care physicians to ensure continuity of care that’s seamless.
