Why I moved my gynecology practice to Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida

After 20 plus years as a solo, independent gynecologist in Ft. Myers, I am thrilled to be joining the outstanding team of women’s health professionals at Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida along with my entire staff.

The benefits to my patients are many. While I will continue the individualized care that made my practice successful, my patients will now enjoy earlier and lunchtime appointments, in-house mammography including 3-D mammography, and online scheduling. Most importantly, they will save tremendous amounts of time and money with the new convenience of in-office procedures. And their medical records will easily transfer to Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida’s Ft. Myers office.

I chose Premier for many reasons, including trust, reputation, bedside manner, and continuity of care. Having performed surgery with most members of the group at various times over the years, I have total confidence in them. For years, I have trusted them with my obstetric patients as well. Our philosophies in women’s care are a perfect match.

My specialized focus will continue to be office gynecology, which has recently expanded to include telehealth. Patients can save time and travel with telehealth visits for many issues, from discussing birth control options to treatments for menopausal symptoms, infections, genetic counseling, and even some bleeding disorders.

While I will continue to see all of my existing patients, I will also be accepting new patients, who will need to make an in-office visit before participating in telehealth. New patients can schedule appointments with me for issues or procedures such as:

Well Woman Exams
Contraception / Family Planning
Infertility Evaluation
Abnormal / Heavy Periods
STD Testing and Treatment
Menopause Counseling and Hormone Therapy
Post-Menopausal Bleeding
Female Cancer Screening
Osteoporosis Evaluation and Treatment
Hysterectomy Alternatives
Second Opinions

I look forward to seeing my patients at Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida and to sharing with them in the many advantages of being part of such a compassionate, experienced and well-respected health-care team.

As Premier’s motto says, I will continue to offer, “The care you’ve come to expect,” and now with more of, “The convenience you need.”

A systematic approach to care is key to improving your sexual health and desire

If you are having problems with sexual desire or response, you are certainly not alone. And here’s the good news: many solutions are available.

Osteopathic manipulative treatment has many applications in obstetrics and gynecology

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a set of hands-on techniques used by osteopathic physicians (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, a DO moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques that include stretching, gentle pressure and resistance.
