Treatments for Excessive Menstrual Bleeding
If you suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, an endometrial ablation may be the solution. We provide two proven methods—both minimally invasive and highly effective. Both are performed as another outpatient alternative to a hysterectomy.
- The HTA® procedure relies on the circulation of heated saline which fills the uterine cavity, and has the unique ability to treat those women whose uterine cavities have abnormal shapes and also some with fibroids. This procedure does not take long to complete and requires the use of a localized anesthetic. For more information about the HTA procedure,

Is your family complete or are you unhappy with your current birth control? We offer a safe and effective method of permanent birth control known as Essure. Unlike other methods of permanent birth control, this non-invasive method does not require cutting or general anesthesia—and typically can be completed within 30 minutes. Generally you can return to work within 24 to 48 hours of your procedure. To learn more about Essure, please click here.
Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH)
If you are faced with having a hysterectomy, a LSH (Laproscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy) is worth considering. This is a less invasive procedure that may reduce pain and minimize scarring. Your surgeon uses a thin, lighted, telescope-like instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted through tiny incisions into the abdomen. As this type of surgery does not require a large incision, you can expect less scarring and a reduced recovery time. In most cases, the procedure can be done on an outpatient basis.

Are you concerned about osteoporosis? Fractures resulting from this condition can be very painful and adversely affect the way you live your life. We offer bone mineral density (BMD) exams through a quick, painless and non-invasive method known as DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry). The DEXA exam uses a weak form of x-ray to scan bones and check the density in various places throughout your body, such as your hip and spine. This procedure requires no special medication or injections, and only takes about 20 minutes to complete. For more information about bone density exams and osteoporosis, please click here.
