About the Practice
We strive for the best in women's preventive care and treatment of any gynecologic and obstetric problems. We stress preventive issues in adolescent and teen young ladies and focus care on patients' individual issues. In the childbearing years, focus is again individual and family planning issues are covered, and pre menopausal concerns are addressed if needed. Postmenopausal care may involve a number of topics as well as numerous possible treatments and alternatives.

The practice is providing gynecology services only, but we can take care of established obstetric patients for normal evaluation and first trimester problems. This means that all female problems in the non-pregnant state and female problems in the early stage of pregnancy can be taken care of. Many people have abnormal Pap smears, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, various pelvic infections, urinary incontinence, and other female problems. A gynecology only practice specialized in these issues and can treat them more effectively. We can still help people with infertility with a basic infertility workup in attempt to obtain a pregnancy. We can also confirm a normal early pregnancy and treat problems and bleeding in the first trimester. Benefits to the patients will be having a gynecologist who has honed-in skills who is not balancing both obstetrics and gynecology, and much less chance of having their appointments cancelled because the physician has to leave for a delivery.

Location
We are located in the Medical Office Building in back of Gulf Breeze Hospital. We are on the second floor with a brand new layout for the best patient care and office flow.
