Operative Laser Laparoscopy
Endometriosis has become a very common cause of painful periods, painful intercourse, and infertility.

Hysteroscopy
If you are experiencing abnormal vaginal bleeding a simple hysteroscopy can diagnose the problem. This 10 minute procedure involves passing a very small scope through the cervix and into the womb to visualize the endometrium. Biopsies are performed and the tissue is sent to a lab for analysis. Cancer of the womb can be ruled out and in some cases the abnormal blleeding can be corrected. Call the appointment hotline today for an immediate appointment to discuss this option.
Female Cancer Screening
A new test is available at Dr. Sullivan's office for bladder cancer screening. With a few drops of urine the presence of bladder cancer can be accurately detected. If you are experiencing any abnormal urinary tract symptoms call the appointment hotline today for an immediate appointment to discuss this test. Ovarian cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, and womb cancer screening are also available at our office.
