For more than 40 years, UT Southwestern physicians in Obstetrics and Gynecology have gained national and international recognition by authoring the leading obstetrics textbook, maintaining an active clinical research role for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and staffing the largest maternity service in the country.  The physicians in Obstetrics and Gynecology are devoted to helping women maintain optimal health and well being throughout all phases of life.  We offer clinical services in a private-practice setting and address the full spectrum of women's health problems.   Our outpatient facilities are located in clinics on the campus of UT Southwestern with inpatient services at UT Southwestern University Hospitals and Parkland Memorial Hospital.

We are pleased to announce the availability of many new services to help physicians care for women with complex obstetrical and gynecological problems. A complete overview of these services can be found on this web site. Let me highlight a few examples:

• A maternal transport system has been established at UT Southwestern University Hospital-St Paul, where the Labor and Delivery and Postpartum units have undergone a complete renovation. With a 32-bed, level III NICU on site and Children's Medical Center on campus, we have the resources and expertise at UT Southwestern to manage virtually any perinatal complication. Whether you simply need a telephone consult or a complete transfer of a patient's care, we are available to assist you.
• Our gynecologic oncology practice has moved to the Simmon's Comprehensive Cancer Center located on the UT Southwestern campus. Within this phenomenal facility, members of our faculty provide state-of-the-art care for women with known or suspected malignancies. In addition to conventional therapies, our patients have access to experimental treatment protocols developed by the National Cancer Institute's Gynecologic Oncology Group.
• We welcome referral of women with complex or refractory gynecological problems. Our growing faculty now include a number of specialists in urogynecology and reproductive endocrinology as well as gynecologists with special expertise in minimally invasive surgery. The Lowe Foundation Center for Women's Preventative Health Care offers an integrated approach to health care for peri- and postmenopausal women.

Please take a moment to review our web site for a more complete overview of the services we now provide. I especially call your attention to Contacting a Physician and Referring a Patient. Please know that we are striving to become a valuable referral resource for you and look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your patients.
