With busy lives and hectic schedules, women often don’t take the time to care for the most important part of their lives ? their health.
This is where the physicians with Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology can help.
‘We are trying to take care of the whole woman from her reproductive age to menopause,? said Dr. Adam Ziff, D.O., the newest partner with the practice. ‘We can work very closely with our patients? primary care physicians.?
Dr. Ziff joined Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology this past August. A graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in Missouri, he completed his obstetrics and gynecology residency with Providence Hospital in Southfield.
He is very excited to be joining the many excellent physicians at Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology.
‘I’ve never met a finer group of physicians than the ones I work with here,? said Dr. Ziff. ‘Their moral character, technical expertise and ability is higher than any other team of doctors I’ve ever worked with.?
Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology includes Dr. Stanley Dorfman, M.D.; Dr. Robert Robins, M.D.; Dr. William H. Jewell, Jr., M.D.; Dr. Paul J. Corsi, M.D.; and Dr. Patricia Kondratenko, D.O.
‘I knew this was a group I wanted to join since I decided to become an OB,? added Ziff. ‘I really enjoy, respect and appreciate their caring and compassionate attitude.?
Dr. Ziff brings with him a wealth of services specializing in urogynecology: treatment of overactive bladder, urinary incompetence, chronic pelvic pain and pelvic organ prolapse.
In addition to these new specialties, Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology recently purchased a new Lunar Prodigy bone density machine, available in the Pontiac office.
Bone density measurements are most often done measuring the spine and hip. The Lunar Prodigy is even able to measure the bone density in a patient that has undergone a hip replacement. Previous bone density machines could not do this.
In addition, the office has an ultrasound bone densometer that will allow any woman over the age of 20 to undergo an inexpensive osteoporosis screening of her heel. If abnormal, a full spine and hip exam could be done.
The Lunar Prodigy can also calculate total body fat composition for those patients attempting to lose weight or re-sculpt their body. Dr. Robins stated that individuals can take their body fat composition results to personal trainers and nutrition experts to better focus on target areas in their physique.
Another excellent service being offered by the practice is laser hair removal. After researching the different options available, the doctors decided to puchase the Gentle-Lase laser.
‘We found the Gentle-Lase had the best results for hair removal on the market,? said Dr. Robins. ‘This same machine is the laser of choice seen on the television show ‘Extreme Makeover.??
Dr. Robins said the process is extremely effective with most patients experiencing the best results after five treatments. Other patients may opt for fewer treatments to simply decrease the amount of hair they have as opposed to eliminating it altogether.
Whether needing a yearly exam; concerned with a sudden problem; looking for a confidence boost with hair removal; or wanting to learn more about bone loss and overall health, Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology can take care of the whole woman.
Associated Obstetrics and Gynecology is open Mondays through Friday.
The office is located at 7210 N. Main Street. For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 248-620-2800 or go online at www.associatedobgyn.net.
