Clinical & Treatment Questions

  • We specialize in advanced gynecologic conditions, including:

    • Endometriosis (all stages, including deep infiltrating)

    • Fibroids

    • Adenomyosis

    • Pelvic pain

    • Ovarian cysts

    • Abnormal bleeding

    • Hormonal imbalance and menopausal care

  • Robotic-assisted surgery allows for precise, minimally invasive treatment of complex gynecologic conditions. Using advanced technology, Dr. Spring-Robinson can perform delicate procedures through small incisions, resulting in reduced pain, faster recovery, and improved outcomes.

  • Recovery varies by patient and procedure. Many women return to light activities within 2–4 weeks, but full healing (especially for complex or multi-organ endometriosis) can take longer. Each recovery plan is personalized based on the extent of surgery and your overall health.

  • Yes. Fertility preservation is always considered when appropriate and desired by the patient. Our approach focuses on excision (removal) of disease while preserving healthy reproductive tissue whenever possible.
