Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery, using a tiny opening to get inside the body instead of making a large cut. It uses small tools attached to a thin robotic arm, which is controlled by the surgeon. Robotic surgery may be referred to by the specific kind of robot that is used. The most advanced robot currently in use is called the da Vinci, and surgery using it is sometimes called da Vinci surgery.
There are many benefits to robotic surgery, both for the patient and the surgeon. Robotic surgery allows for more precise movements and increased control during very delicate surgical procedures. This makes performing surgery accurately much easier for surgeons and reduces fatigue. The smaller 'hand' of the robot can enter the body via a much smaller opening, which reduces the risk of infection and scarring and leads to a faster recovery. The robotic hands also contain tiny moveable cameras among their tools, giving surgeons a much closer view of the procedure than would be possible with traditional surgery.

This doctor was highly recommended by my Catholic community but I feel compelled to warn others to beware of this physician office. The office is clean and the standards of infection control are good. My concerns were related to the level of provider access and overall professionalism of this office. You can't email or speak to a provider by phone. You can only deliver messages by reception staff that rarely return your calls in a timely manner or deliver accurate messages. The provider can occasionally be unprofessional. In my initial visit, he expressed negative opinions he held about my past medical care in reference to a fertility specialist that I see. He made questionable inflated claims about his own ability to treat infertility which I believe can be detrimental if this doctor is not making appropriate referrals to specialized fertility care. I don't believe the best specialized care should be from providers with only general training in OB care. Many of my friends really like this doctor. I unfortunately didn't have a great experience at this office.
