Comprehensive Care for Women of All Ages

Providing healthcare for women requires a special touch - compassion blended with expertise. At Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, you will find considerate professionals who can provide for women's health needs. Cedars-Sinai's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology offers women the most up-to-date assessments and treatments, many of which have been developed by our world-class research program. We offer a broad range of programs and services for women of all ages, including:

• The Center for Fertility and Reproductive Medicine provides the latest in testing and treatments for hormonal problems, such as painful periods, endometriosis, menopause and increased body hair.

• The Center for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center sets itseld apart from programs at other institutions. Designed by board-certified gynecologists who are experts in minimally invasive surgery, the center creates an atmosphere of exceptional care. The highly trained surgeons at Cedars-Sinai use innovative laparoscopic and hysteroscopic technologies, allowing for some surgical procedures to be performed through tiny incisions the size of a fingernail. This minimally invasive approach enables most women to return to their daily activities in less time with less discomfort than with traditional surgery. In many cases, minimally invasive surgery can effectively treat gynecological conditions without having to remove the organ.
