Patient Education

We offer a wide range of educational information and resources for women in this area.  You may download information about the various conditions and diseases we treat and procedures we perform.  These are all in pdf format and will require you to have Adobe Reader to view.

 You may download Adobe Reader for free at www.adobe.com.

In addition, we have an extensive patient library with a large selection of books and pamphlets on many different topics, from infertility to menopause, from childbirth to cancer in our office.  Please feel free to check out any of these at any time.

You will also find links to numerous other websites that may be of interest.  These links can be accessed by clicking the "Web Links" section to the left.
