Thanks to Dr. Farr Nezhat’s unique credentials, he can operate and remove endometriosis across all organs of the body while also treating complex gynecological conditions – there’s a reason the Nezhat Surgery for Gynecology/Oncology is known as one of the best endometriosis specialists in New York and the world.
The Right Choice
You deserve the right gynecologic oncologist for you
As a woman, finding a gynecologic oncologist that can meet your complex medical needs is one of the best things you can do for your health. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done: the number of available gynecologic oncologists per patient worldwide is astonishingly low. This causes women experiencing gynecological issues to go directly to regular gynecologists (OB/GYNs) or general surgeons for treatment.
A general surgeon may be unaware of the challenging, complex, and multidisciplinary nature of gynecological diseases, while a regular gynecologist may lack the surgical capabilities required to treat the issues. In both cases, patients run the risk of unnecessary and/or unsuccessful surgeries that require corrective surgery later.
A gynecologic oncologist, on the other hand, is a physician first trained in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), with an additional three to four years of training in gynecologic cancers including advanced surgery techniques and chemotherapy administration and radiation. These gynecologic oncology specialists use their skills to treat cancers of the female reproductive system as well as complex benign conditions. Data shows that patients operated on by gynecologic oncologists have significantly better outcomes.
At the Nezhat Surgery for Gynecology/Oncology, one of our primary goals is to expand the access to gynecologic oncology in New York and for patients across the globe.
