Open Hysterectomy near Williamsburg, VA

Care Philosophy: With medical excellence and patient satisfaction at the heart of everything we do, the mission of Virginia Women's Center is to further the health of our patients by: Providing a lifetime of skilled and compassionate obstetrical and gynecologic care. Advancing Our Practice of that care wherever possible. Offering convenient access to other services that complement that care.

Care Philosophy: My philosophy is to help women realize there is usually a simple fix for their urinary or bowel issues. Problems with vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence and fecal incontinence are SO common, but don't have to be. My team can help. Sometimes it's as easy as teaching them healthy bladder and bowel habits. The great thing about my field is that it's very symptom-focused, meaning that treatments can be as conservative or non-invasive as a woman desires depending on how much her symptoms bother her.
