Optimize your recovery and embrace the possibilities ahead.
Did you know that hysterectomy is the second most common surgery performed on reproductive-age women in the U.S., following cesarean section? It’s true! Although the rates of this surgery are declining because of better conservative treatments, it is still a super common surgery. Hysterectomy is a significant surgery, yet many individuals fail to adequately prepare for it and are often taken by surprise due to the physical and emotional effects. The majority of hysterectomies are performed on women aged 40 to 50, which is a pivotal stage in life. Our point is this: you have a whole lot of amazing life to live after a hysterectomy.

"She is one of the few people that I ever spoke to about my “situation.” Other male doctors had laughed at me, gave me rude comments and made me feel degraded.
Emily Wilson’s approach is respectful, caring and kind. She is gracious, professional and personable.
She gave me hope and the tools for me to make positive changes for a better future! I will always be grateful to Emily and would highly recommend her."
