Minimally Invasive Surgery

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We understand that it can be concerning to you when your physician tells you need surgery. You will undoubtedly have many questions and you can rest assured that your Lifeline Medical Associates healthcare provider is here for you throughout the entire process.

Surgeries related to women’s healthcare can be minimally invasive, meaning you will potentially have fewer complications and less pain in your recovery. Techniques used for minimally invasive surgery use smaller incisions so there is less risk as well.

Types of minimally invasive surgery can include:

  • Laparoscopy – Also known as endoscopy, this type of surgery uses small tubes and tiny cameras to guide the surgeon. Typically, the tube contains very small surgical instruments, which the surgeon is able to use while viewing the procedure on a monitor.
  • Robotic surgery – n this type of surgery, the physician has even greater control, enabling them to perform extremely precise procedures. The surgeon will operate from a console that is equipped with robotic arms. Viewing a high definition 3-D image on the console, the surgeon operates with flexibility and control.

Once I was finally able to schedule, routine - in & out.

Office Visit / Follow-up

I’m very satisfied with the care I receive from Dr Pierce. The last visit however I spent almost an hour waiting in the waiting room before going in for my 9:40 am ultra sound. I got there at 9:30 and wasn’t taken for my ultra sound of my ovarian cysts until almost 10:30. If I were late by almost an hour I’m sure I’d have had to make another appointment. I can understand a 15 to 20 min delay but not almost an hour. That was a bit excessive. Thankfully I didn’t have any other appointments that day.

The medical info in computer was not accurate

I have seen Dr. Magaril for years and I value her expertise. The reason I didn't give a rating of 5 is that I was called in for my appointment significantly after the scheduled time.

Check in was easy, I was called in shortly after I arrived and provided information to the nurse. She was very friendly and explained new questions they were required to ask. After the nurse left, I waited for the doctor for 15 minutes. The doctor briefly discussed a biopsy I had the last year and advised me to follow-up with the breast surgeon. She wrote me a script for my annual mammogram.

Dr. Lublin is wonderful, however the scheduling of patients is not done well. My appointment was for 10:00 am, I was not called back by the nurse till after 10:30am, and did not complete by visit till after 11:15am. The patients time is just as valuable as Dr. Lublin's. Please schedule appointments which really reflect the amount of time necessary for the Dr. and patient to meet so the schedule is realistic and the Dr. is not rushed.

I have been a patient of Nancy’s for several years, and she has always been extremely efficient, empathetic, thorough, compassionate and encouraging. The staff is helpful and efficient. The wait times to see her are minimal, yet you never feel rushed by the appointment. Very pleased with the practice.
