Some Words from our Founding Medical Director

Doctor McQuady, helping women with pelvic pain"Throughout my 25 years of practicing Gynecology and Obstetrics, I have seen thousands of women suffering with recurrent, persistent, or chronic pelvic pain. Until very recently, there were few sources of information and limited treatment options available for these unfortunate women; often they searched unsuccessfully from doctor to doctor seeking help.

Thankfully, learning in this specialized area of gynecology is expanding rapidly, and new approaches to diagnosis and treatment have now been identified. I have had the privilege of traveling and studying with leading Physicians nationally within this exciting field. I am thrilled to be able to bring the most up-to-date knowledge, integrated practice principles, and highest quality of care to the women of this Region."
