Philosophy
It is estimated that 10% of couples will have some trouble getting pregnant. Many of the causes are simple to treat and resolve. Asheville Women's physicians have a special interest in helping these patients have a productive family experience. Medical therapy alone is successful in the majority of patients. If surgery is required, the decision to operate is based on a thorough review of the patient's special needs.

Treatment
Most of the clinical care and diagnostic testing is done in the office setting. If surgery is required to solve your problem, outpatient procedures are readily available. Hospitalization is reserved only for the most complicated situations. The doctors use the most advanced methods of care, keeping your objective of a family clearly in mind.
