Overview

Welcome to My Doctor Online, a web site that my colleagues and I developed to make it easier for you to take care of your healthcare needs. On this site you will find answers to many of your questions about my clinical practice. Also included are several online features that will allow you to e-mail me, check your laboratory results and refill prescriptions. I hope you find its content informative and useful. Background In general, I offer a full range of obstetric and gynecologic services and I have a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and treatments that replace surgery. Prior to attending medical school, I earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Nutrition Science and continue to promote preventative and health care maintenance as the basis from which I practice medicine today. Currently, I am promoting minimally invasive procedures that can be done in the office which provide you more comfort and familiarity, quicker recovery, and more safety than the standard hospital based operating room procedures. The first of these procedures is a global endometrial ablation technique, which is an alternative to a hysterectomy by using the Hydrotherm Ablator technique for those of you who have the unfortunate problem with heavy bleeding and fibroids. The second procedure is a hysteroscopic tubal occlusion procedure for those who want sterilization. In addition, for those of you who require a hospital based operation, I am promoting minimally invasive alternatives through a minilaparotomy technique or laparoscopy, which will allow you to recover more quickly than the standard operations commonly done in the community. I hope that you find satisfaction, comfort, and security from the information within this website, and through your experiences in my clinic, and the San Rafael Medical Center. My hometown is San Rafael and I feel very fortunate to have been able to return here to practice medicine. My goal is to provide you with a hometown comfort and in turn, you will feel secure with the medical decisions that confront you. Please call me or e-mail me if your questions or concerns are not answered here or you need more information about a specific topic. Together, we can keep you, your family, and our community healthy and happy Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, and I look forward to seeing you in our clinic at your next appointment.
