Hysteroscopy
A minimally invasive procedure that allows Dr. Turner to evaluate the inside of the uterus using a small camera.
Common reasons to consider hysteroscopy:
- Abnormal uterine bleeding
- Suspected uterine polyps or submucosal fibroids
- Evaluation of the uterine cavity
- Tissue sampling when indicated
Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial ablation is designed to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding by treating the uterine lining.
May be considered for:
- Heavy bleeding that hasn’t responded to first-line options
- Patients who are done with childbearing (in most cases)
We’ll review candidacy carefully and discuss alternatives so you can make a confident decision.
Laparoscopic Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy (Non-Robotic)
For certain conditions, hysterectomy can provide lasting resolution. Dr. Turner offers laparoscopic non-robotic approaches when appropriate—designed to minimize disruption and support recovery.
Common reasons patients explore hysterectomy:
- Persistent heavy bleeding
- Fibroids or uterine enlargement
- Adenomyosis (suspected/diagnosed)
- Chronic pelvic symptoms when other treatments have not helped
Labiaplasty
Labiaplasty is a surgical option that can address discomfort, irritation, or aesthetic concerns related to the labia.
Patients commonly request consultation for:
- Chafing, irritation, or discomfort with clothing/exercise
- Postpartum or age-related tissue changes
- Desire for improved comfort and confidence
Consultations are discreet, respectful, and focused on your goals—without pressure.
Vaginal Reconstruction
Vaginal reconstruction is a personalized surgical approach intended to restore comfort, function, and confidence after tissue changes related to childbirth, aging, trauma, or prior procedures.
A consultation may be helpful if you’re experiencing:
- A feeling of looseness or reduced support
- Discomfort, irritation, or tissue changes affecting daily life or intimacy
- Concerns after childbirth or prior vaginal procedures
- Functional concerns you’d like evaluated in a private, clinical setting
Your evaluation will include a respectful exam and a clear discussion of options—surgical and non-surgical—based on your anatomy, symptoms, and goals.
What to Expect
- Consultation: symptoms, goals, medical history, and prior treatments
- Evaluation: exam and/or imaging review when appropriate
- Clear options: procedure choices, benefits/risks, recovery timeline
- Planning + support: pre-op guidance and post-op follow-up
