OUR FOCUS: MULTIFACETED WOMEN'S HEALTH ISSUES
We focus primarily in the specialized care and treatment of complex, multifaceted women’s health issues, we also provide general gynecological services. Our practice concentrates in the management and control of symptoms and problems that may emerge for women as a result of the treatment of diseases such as cancer and other conditions and disorders. We are the only research-based women’s health practice at Rush University Medical Center and one of the leading women’s health and research-based practices in North America. Patients come to us most often by referral from family physicians, other gynecologists, cardiologists, neurologists, oncologists, hermatologists and other sub-specialists in the medical field.
OUR APPROACH: GYNECOLOGICAL ENDOCRINOLOGY & GENERAL GYNECOLOGY
We offer a sub-specialty approach in gynecological endocrinology that allows us to take a laser-focused view of the care of women. Simply stated, we are concerned with the interplay between biological, chemical, and physiological functions of hormones and cells in women, a nd how to apply the best medical solutions for each situation. Because we also conduct research to delve deeper into a wide range of common women's health conditions, we can link what we know about our patients' symptoms,side-effects and concerns to scientific data and the results of studies we have conducted over our years of dedicated work in the women's health field.
