Ovarian Cysts
A fluid-filled or semi-solid sac on your ovaries is known as an ovarian cyst. Cysts are often a natural part of the menstrual cycle, but sometimes they can grow, leading to painful symptoms.

Hormone Therapy
Through a holistic approach to medicine, I try viewing each patient as a whole rather than a single symptom to be treated. This is just one of many procedures I perform when coming up with any diagnosis. Your health deserves proper care and attention and I’m able to provide. Please contact me today to schedule an appointment.
Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are a common type of noncancerous tumor that can grow in and on your uterus. Not all fibroids cause symptoms, but when they do, symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, back pain, frequent urination and pain during sex. Small fibroids often don’t need treatment, but larger fibroids can be treated with medications or surgery.
Contraception
Contraception, aka birth control, is any activity, medicine, or equipment used to prevent pregnancy. There are many types of birth control available for people who do not wish to become pregnant. The decision on which method is right for you should be made with your healthcare provider, as well as with your partner.
