  • Routine annual well-woman exams, Pap smears
  • Contraception, STD screening
  • Pelvic pain and painful periods
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Endometriosis
  • Menopause and Hormone replacement therapy
  • Minimally invasive surgical procedures including endometrial ablations and laparoscopies
  • Major surgery such as hysterectomies and pelvic reconstructions
