Welcome to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Virginia. We’re pleased that you are seeking information about our department and the services we provide. I have been Chair of our department for six years, and I’m extremely proud of our faculty, our nurses, and our other personnel. I’m very aware of all of their efforts in providing the very best clinical care possible for our patients. As with many academic ob/gyn departments, our department is organized along divisions that reflect subspecialties within our field of medicine. Under each division you will find the activities that are provided by that group of faculty and staff. We’re not limited to specialty care --- we have an outstanding general division that provides obtetrics and gynecologic services. As for the specialty areas of women’s health, we offer virtually every service possible to our patients. We’re very proud to be in the top 50 ob/gyn departments in the country, a fact especially noteworthy since we are among the smallest departments in that group. Our faculty is about evenly split between male and female, and also between those who trained at UVa and those who trained elsewhere. We enjoy diversity at all levels, as we feel it promotes thoughtful and more individualized care for our patients. We have state-of-the-art ultrasound facilities within our department and our hospital, and we have colleagues in our Pediatric and Neonatal units with great expertise in caring for newborns with special needs. In fact, we have colleagues and facilities in virtually every field of medicine here at UVa. We believe our patients receive superb medical care --- all in one facility. Our faculty and staff enjoy their work and enjoy the Charlottesville/Albemarle community. Besides working here, we live here. Many have children in area schools, and we all enjoy the many benefits of the Charlottesville/Albemarle community. Many of us are active in volunteer work in various ways. Thanks again for looking at what we have to offer.
