Though hundreds of women visit MKMG’s Obstetricians and Gynecologists every week, many are not aware of the vast scope of services the Group provides. From routine gynecological care to advanced surgical procedures, MKMG’s Ob/Gyn services are some of the most cutting edge and comprehensive in the area.
“No other medical group in Westchester county provides the variety of in-office procedures or vast range of experience we offer,” said Dr. Elisa Burns, MKMG Obstetrician & Gynecologist and Chief of the Ob/Gyn department at Northern Westchester Hospital Center. “Our physicians are trained in the most advanced medical procedures and therapies, and our technology is state-of-the-art. Our office procedures include colposcsopy, laser surgery, ultrasound, hysteroscopy, LEEP, D&C, and endometrial biopsy.”
Personalized Attention & Care for All Ages
MKMG has a staff of 11 Gynecologists who specialize in both routine and advanced care for both younger and older women. From caring, first-time gynecological examinations for teens, to attending to older women’s menopausal issues, MKMG physicians are experienced in providing comfortable, attentive care. MKMG Gynecologists provide all types of well-woman and preventive testing and procedures, including Pap smears, screening for sexually transmitted diseases, HIV testing, and breast exams. Mammography and breast needle biopsies are also performed on-site.
Family Planning & Contraception
MKMG assists women in family planning and offers a large selection of contraceptive alternatives. Physicians help patients select from the myriad of contraceptives available, including oral and injectable contraceptives, diaphragms, two types of intrauterine devices (IUDs), and cervical cap fittings.
“We take great care in helping our patients choose the right contraceptives for them, and we focus on educating them about the associated benefits and risks,” said Dr. Burns. “We also spend time explaining how to properly use these methods, to ensure the greatest success.”
The Childbearing Years
As women age, they can count on MKMG throughout their childbearing years and beyond. MKMG physicians have the training, skills and experience women count on to help them manage both low-risk and high-risk pregnancies and births, from natural childbirth and alternative birth techniques and positions, to cesarean sections, breech babies and multiple births. Mothers-to-be can count on MKMG Obstetricians to provide the wide range of care they need as they grow their families. For women with difficulties conceiving, MKMG offers fertility evaluation and treatment. Ovarian stimulation, follicle sonography and intrauterine inseminations are done here in the office.
As Women Age
MKMG physicians are highly skilled in the treatment of menopausal and post-menopausal patients, and they utilize the latest in hormone replacement therapies.
“For older women, we pay special attention to the prevention of osteoporosis, and bone density screenings can be performed right in our offices,” Dr. Burns said. “We also offer a wide range of traditional and alternative hormone replacement therapies, including commercial pharmaceutical estrogen and progesterone, individually compounded estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, phytoestrogen treatment, and SERMS (selective estrogen receptor modulators) like Evista.”
“Women who once thought they needed to travel to New York City to receive the latest procedures and treatments no longer have to leave their community to receive state-of-the-art care,” Dr. Burns said.
