MCW Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology

Welcome

We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of primary and specialty healthcare for women in a compassionate and responsive manner.

The department provides expertise in all aspects of women’s health including high-risk maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, pediatric and adolescent gynecology, minimally invasive surgery, female urinary incontinence, and oncology.

Our student clerkships and residency program are among the best in obstetrics and gynecology. Our newly accredited Maternal Fetal Fellowship started July 2015. I encourage you to explore the website and learn more about the clinical care, education programs, research activities and community interactions of the department.
