Gynecological care
We provide a broad range of expertise to meet the needs of women with complex conditions, including endometriosis and uterine fibroids. Our gynecologists specialize in minimally invasive surgery for some conditions, which has decreased the length of stay in hospital and length of the patient's recovery period. St. Michael’s offers the only two-year fellowship in minimally invasive gynecological surgery in Canada.

Not every patient will need to see every member of the team and the care will be individualized based on patient need and wishes.
