Gynecology

At UT Southwestern Medical Center, we’re focused on the health and well-being of women, from childhood through menopause and beyond. We develop lasting relationships with our patients through all phases of life.

Our experienced gynecologists have years of expertise in evaluating, treating, and managing all types of conditions affecting women’s pelvic organs. Our physicians, nurses, and other providers work closely with each patient to help her achieve her best health.

Expertise in Women’s Health Care

Gynecology is the specialty of medicine for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions that affect the female reproductive organs. Our gynecologists provide care for disorders and injuries affecting the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.

In addition to specialists trained in the latest minimally invasive surgery techniques, our physician team includes gynecologists with advanced training in fertility and reproductive medicine, gynecological cancer, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, and urogynecology. From well-woman exams to gynecological surgery, we provide experienced, compassionate care to serve each patient’s needs in a friendly and comfortable environment.
