About Richard H. Demir

I am the Director of Minimally Invasive GYN Surgery and the Multi-Disciplinary Pelvic Pain program at Desert Women\'s Care. We have a state-of-the-art program to address the needs of women experiencing chronic pelvic pain. A team approach including Gynecology, Urology, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Pain Management, Physical Medicine / Rehabilitation, Psychology, Addictionology, Pharmacology and Physical Therapy is used to expeditiously diagnose the cause(s) of a patient\'s pain and effectively address each causative element simultaneously. The entire woman is evaluated and treated in a caring, sensitive environment with the express goal of returning her to optimal functionality as soon as possible.We offer the most advanced, minimally invasive GYN surgeries available. Virtually all surgeries are done in an out-patient, Ambulatory-Surgery-Center environment. We have recently reported on the first 420 Laparoscopic Hysterectomies done in our Out-Patient Hysterectomy Program at the 2018 SGS Meeting. Our over-arching goal is to return patients to maximum functionality as soon as possible following surgery and in so doing to decrease post-operative complications and improve the patient experience.
