Gynecology Specialties
Dedicated to women's health care, education and innovative research.
The Emory Gynecology Specialties Division offers a range of treatment and management options for women's health. Gynecology Specialties balances the surgical and non-surgical aspects of gynecology.
Our services include treatment for a variety of infectious disease in women, management of menopausal complaints and solutions for pelvic floor disorders. We offer the highest quality patient care backed by the research and innovation of the Emory University School of Medicine. All of our physicians hold academic appointments in the department.
The Division also plays an active role in clinical trials conducted at the Emory University School of Medicine. These studies result in new treatments and assure that we have access to the latest information and technologies.
Services & Procedures
Physicians provide a full range of inpatient and ambulatory services. Treatments and services include:
- Minor and major surgeries, e.g. hysterectomy, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery
- Surgical and non-surgical treatment for abnormalities of the lower genital tract
- Urinary and fecal incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse (the loss of support to the pelvic organs)
- Menopause

In addition, the division features the Emory Center for Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery & Urogynecology:
 Located at The Emory Clinic at Building A, on Emory University campus, the Center offers comprehensive evaluation, management and treatment options for female urinary and pelvic floor dysfunctions. The staff provides a specialized, combined expertise in the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders that include:
- Urinary Incontinence
- Voiding (bladder emptying) Dysfunction
- Fecal Incontinence or Bowel Disorders
- Vaginal Wall Prolapse; loss of support in the vaginal wall, which causes other pelvic organs to "fall into" or invade the vaginal area.
Many of these conditions are a result of childbirth, menopause or aging. Treatment can include physical therapies and exercises, diet modifications and in some instances, surgery. Patients benefit from the comprehensive diagnostic capabilities of the Center's various urodynamic laboratories.
