Gynecologic Care

As a woman, maintaining your gynecologic care is one of the most important aspects of good health. Allegheny Health Network (AHN) focuses on wellness and preventive medicine, offering many convenient locations for routine check-ups with an OB-GYN to keeping you feeling your best.

Of course, sometimes problems arise. You might need more intensive treatments or surgery. We’re renowned for minimally invasive gynecologic procedures, which offer a quicker recovery time so you can return to your life.

Gynecologic care services at AHN: Why choose us?

At AHN, we specialize in women’s health. We are devoted to providing the most advanced gynecologic care, close to home. That’s why we opened our new, 25,000-square-foot women’s health center at Jefferson Hospital.

At AHN, you can expect gynecologic care that is:

• Sophisticated: Our staff specializes in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, which speeds recovery times so you can quickly return to your everyday life. AHN was the first in western Pennsylvania to use a specific kind of robotic surgery to perform a hysterectomy. We continue to pioneer and specialize in new techniques for robotic surgeries and enhanced recovery practices so that many of our patients who undergo a minimally invasive hysterectomy can return home the same day.
• Comprehensive: We work closely with our obstetricians, highly trained urogynecologists, integrative medicine, and pelvic health experts at our Center for Women’s Pelvic Health to provide a broad spectrum of care for women who suffer from conditions such as urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic prolapse, pelvic pain, and recurrent UTI’s. This results in more coordinated treatment, reducing the number of appointments, improving outcome and giving you peace of mind.
• Convenient: Our doctors, nurses, and staff work together to provide specialized women-centric care. We offer an array of services in more than 50 convenient OB-GYN locations. Our team works together to address all aspects of your health care journey.
