Not Every Surgeon Can Do It.

da Vinci surgery is a remarkable alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery in which the surgeon uses a robotic arm with a high-definition camera to make the tiniest incisions possible. Your ideal da Vinci surgeon will have:

Advanced Surgical Skills

Robotic fertility surgery can be trickier than traditional laparoscopic surgery, partly because the surgeon has less tactile contact with the patient and partly because the surgical assistants are less able to pitch in and help. These considerations call for a surgeon with experience, skill and extensive training in the da Vinci system. Dr Gehlbach has completed all facets of the da Vinci training to become a certified da Vinci surgeon.  The da Vinci training system brings 60 years of experience to the operating table, and their  familiarity with the technology ensures the best possible outcome.

Board Certification

The most qualified REI surgeons are certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, both generally and in the specific field of reproductive endocrinology and fertility. You might be surprised to learn that there are only about 800 surgeons in the entire country who have achieved this recognition; Dr. Gehlbach is one of them. He is also a member of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

Honesty and Integrity

For all its benefits and advantages, da Vinci surgery isn’t for everyone. Dr. Gehlbach will take the time to examine your medical history, pre-existing conditions, pelvic configuration and other critical information to make sure you are a good candidate. You want a surgeon who will treat you as an individual and apply the right solution to your specific needs. If there’s a better option for you, we won’t hesitate to recommend it.
