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.

Hysteroscopy

Dr. Sarma is always very comforting and reassuring, especially when procedures can be both uncomfortable and uneasy. She explains everything she’s doing as she does it. She has such a calmness about her that instantly puts me at ease when I’m so nervous.

Virtual Visit / Telemedicine

The Lab had found a small mass on my right breast and Amy was unaware that I was even offered a sonogram of the breast. That was disheartening. She was more intent on getting me to take fosamax for my bones, which I can never take because my stomach is so sensitive due to Rheumatoid Arthritis with a Psoariatic component. I had originally related all this in my Doctor's Profile for me. I even told her my arthritis doctor's (Rheimatologist) name.

IUD Insertion / Removal

Dr. Steer is always extremely thorough, caring, and knowledgable. He delivered my second child as well, as as someone who had a traumatic birth experience with her first, I can say he made delivering my second the experience every birthing person should have and deserves. With the way women's heath care is today, it's extremely reassuring to have a doctor who listens and understands your whole picture as a patient.

Annual Well Woman Exam

This was the first time I was meeting Grace. From the moment she walked in until the moment my visit was over, Grace was extremely thorough, compassionate and caring. She made sure to get a full history and understanding of my issue, and even asked questions that prompted me to think about some other issues I have been having, but has never been resolved during past visits. I highly highly recommend Grace and will be switching to her service moving forward.
