We have the pleasure of welcoming John Green, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. as a guest speaker of our Better Understanding OB/GYN Series. Dr Green will be speaking on the OB/GYN's broad scope of practice in today's society.
With 15 years experience, Dr. Green maintains the latest knowledge of ultrasound evaluation in pregnancy and for gynecologic problems. He incorporates interventions that often avoid surgery, such as saline infusion sonographic diagnosis of endometrial disease, office management of cervical disease with the LEEP system, and medical management of ectopic pregnancy. When surgery is necessary, he offers expertise in minimally invasive surgery. This includes management of urinary incontinence with Sparc (TM) and other suburethral sling procedures. Dr. Green is board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is a diplomat to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
