• Male Infertility
  One in 10 American couples are infertile. Despite common beliefs, male infertility is just as common as female infertility. There can be many reasons as to why infertility occurs, but it does not mean a couple is never capable of having a child. Because of drugs and other high-tech procedures, over 50% of couples that are infertile eventually are able to have a successful pregnancy.
• Urinary Incontinence

  Birth control pills contain hormones that prevent pregnancy. The pills don’t prevent or protect against STDs. Risks associated with the pills include:  blood clots, hypertension, stroke, cervical cancer, or breast cancer. Women who smoke cigarettes, have a high number of sexual partners, or don’t have regular Pap smears are at a higher risk for the risks associated with the usage of birth control pills.

Surgeons

• General Surgery
  I grew up in Texas, and went to college at Texas A&M (graduated with my BS in 1987). I graduated from medical school at Texas Tech University (1992), and moved to North Carolina for residency training. I did two years of general surgery residency (ECU). I then changed to Ob/Gyn and finished residency training in 1997 from ECU School of Medicine, Department Obstetrics/Gynecology. I worked in private practice for two years and then for the ECU School of Medicine for 4 years. While I worked for the school of medicine, I also went to ECU College of Business and graduated with my MBA in 2003. This extra training makes it easier for us to help patients navigate the business of medicine. It also reinforced the need for customer service in health care.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery
  Minimally invasive surgery uses innovative laparoscopic and hysteroscopic technologies, allowing for some surgical procedures to be done through tiny incisions. These procedures decrease hospital stay, post-operative pain, and recovery time. Through the use of this cutting-edge technology, it is our hope to get you back to regular activity and improve your quality of life as quickly as possible.
• Vasectomy
• Hysterectomy
  Yes. If your cervix was not removed, you still need an annual pap smear to check for abnormal cells. If your cervix was removed as part of the hysterectomy, it is not as important. However, it is an opportunity for the doctor to examine internally for masses.
